Used live since the Better Day Tour, as stated by monitor engineer Jason Glass in this September 2011 article from the official Countryman website.
Regardless of whether she’s performing at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles or O2 Arena in London, there’s one subtle but unmistakable constant—her use of the Isomax Headset microphone from Menlo Park, CA-based Countryman Associates. (...) Currently, there are two Countryman Isomax Headsets used onstage during the concert performances and Glass keeps several backup units ready—just in case. “I prefer the cardioid model’s pattern for lead and duet vocals,” says Glass. “We first started using the hypercardioid model in 2006, but we then switched to the cardioid pattern for the Better Day tour. It’s a bit more forgiving in terms of placement near the performer’s mouth.”
