Britney Spears

Britney Spears uses this microphone in almost all of her live performances - however she does lip-sync a large amount of her shows. She uses it in this video at the BBMAS 2016, but will use it in almost every live performance.

Britney can be seen wearing a Shure UR1 Bodypack Transmitter on her M&Ms tour.

Britney used the C-800G on two tracks on Circus, according to Andy Page, the co-producer:

"I recorded/engineered/programmed/mixed 2 songs from "Circus", "Out from Under" and "My Baby", both produced by Guy Sigsworth. The vocal chain was a C800G going in to an Avalon 737, then straight into ProTools via a 192."

Tending to all of this activity is front-of-house engineer Blake Suib, who is taking the FOH reins, having spent countless hours behind a monitor board for Spears, as well as for such artists as Seal, Destiny's Child, Janet Jackson, Annie Lennox and many more. One would think that making the transition from the side of the stage to FOH would be a bit difficult, but Suib has seamlessly made the change, pointing out that the tour's Meyer Sound P.A. has been instrumental in switching positions. As the tour is in the round, Suib and company employ 64 MILOs, split up into four hangs (16 per hang) and 32 MICAs split up into two hangs (16 per hang). In addition, there are 12 M'elodies in the center rig (four hangs) and HP-700 subs with some M'elodies on top “to kind of fill in the floor,” Suib says. Rounding out the substantial and clear-sounding system are hanging MSL4s and C1s for Spears' stage monitors.
