"The main reason I use Sennheiser equipment is for its sound," says Thornton, who has specified SKM 500-935 G3 for vocals, with a combination of e 904, e 901, e 906 and MKH 40 for backline. "We've tried these guys with all sorts of different microphones and the 935 sounds particularly good with their voices and gives me loads of volume before we have any feedback issues. Plus the boys like the feel, the way the microphone handles and the way it looks."
"Sennheiser has been involved with The Wanted right from the very start," adds McLean. "We wanted them to get used to the quality they could expect for the rest of their careers at the very beginning, with both microphones and in-ears. Today, as well as the SKM 500 mics, we're using ew 300 IEM G3 for their ears."
