Band members Tom Smith, Ed Lay and Russell Leetch all use Sennheiser ew 300 G2 in-ear monitors.
Front of house engineer Nick Ingram reports: "We have been using Sennheiser IEMs for over four years. Tom showed an interest very early on, from the band's first tour in fact, and has never looked back. Ed soon followed and Russ has very recently moved onto them.
"The band has always been happy with them. They deliver a very clear, full range sound and are very simple to use. The packs are small, neat and, once set up, can be safely 'locked' for peace of mind - which always goes down well with musicians."
"They are very reliable and consistent. Also, because of the extended RF range, we have also been able to use one system wherever we are in the world, which is a massive advantage for any busy touring group," Nick continues. "Selecting frequencies is really quick and simple, while every aspect of the system is adjustable which makes it a really versatile system, perfect for touring. These are all reasons why we haven't felt any need to change in all this time. I wouldn't want to use any other IEM system."
He adds: "Sennheiser's customer service is superb and I have a great relationship with the A&R department, which has always supported me and the musicians I have worked with. At Sennheiser there is a real understanding of what touring sound engineers need and, when emergencies have arisen (which is inevitable on the road), they have always been there to help."
