Promoting their current album Taller in More Ways, the girls have recently completed a successful UK tour using Sennheiser's SKM 935G2 wireless mics supported with Evolution EW300G2 IEMs. The cardioid SKM 935G2 features nine frequency banks each with up to 20 directly accessible presets and Sugababes monitor engineer Chris Trimby states: "The SKM 935 vocal mic has proved to be an excellent choice due to the usual Sennheiser RF reliability, and it also provides a very high rejection level within the mix."
Sennheiser's EW300G2-IEM system is Trimby's wireless monitoring preference for the Sugababes. "The Sennheiser G2 system is currently the most reliable,stable and clean sounding IEM system at the moment. The tone and clarity allows me to provide the girls with exactly the mix they want to hear. The extremely compact size is also a convenient factor with several costume changes throughout their act."
As well as the technical benefits of the Sennheiser microphones and IEM's, Chris Trimby also praised the back up that Sennheiser provides, and adds "On the rare occasion we have had any issues with the equipment, Sennheiser have provided a very high level of support and have resolved things very quickly."
The three-piece have survived the kind of upheavals that would crush lesser bands, including two line-up changes during their seven years. The all-new line up is going from strength to strength and looking forward to a busy schedule over the Summer including performances at The Prince's Trust 30th Anniversary show at the Tower of London, T4 on the Beach, and V Festivals in Chelmsford and Stafford.
