With Sennheiser's support team of Mark Saunders, Dave Hawker and Phil Cummings on hand to support sound company, Wigwam, a total of 70 presenters and performers used Sennheiser as they entertained the sell-out crowd.
As far as in-ear monitoring was concerned, all IEMs used by performers were Sennheiser's G2 300 series. In addition, all presenter mics were Sennheiser SKM 5200s, the same model chosen by headliner, Leona Lewis.
Other performers, including Saturdays, Daniel Merriweather, Mark Ronson and Shontelle all performed with Sennheiser SKM 935 mics.
Katie Walker, RF Manager at Wigwam comments, "With 12 IEM systems, 22 receiver packs and 70 performers sharing them over a six hour performance, manual programming could have been a real challenge. Using the NET 1's made it really easy. I'd not used the units in a gig situation before this show but I was really impressed. They're very easy to use and was able to allocate new frequencies in seconds."
Geoff Muir, contracts manager at Wigwam, adds: "We worked with Sennheiser on the last big Capital Radio event - the Jingle Bell Ball at the O2 Arena. That all went really well and I'm happy to say this event did too. It's great to have the Sennheiser team on site, the equipment all worked perfectly and, for a full on six hour show, that's all you can ask for."
