This picture was posted by Ed Sheeran's guitar tech Trevor Dawkins, showing all four guitars used for the Multiply tour being equipped with Sennheiser SK 9000 transmitters, sending a clean digital guitar signal to the Sennheiser Digital 9000 system.
In an interview with Sports Video Group, front-of-the-house and monitor engineer Chris Marsh says: “Digital 9000 Series has changed our lives. We had been looking at ways of moving Ed’s guitar away from being wired, but we hadn’t found a good enough wireless system for him to lose the cable, which he’d been using since the very beginning. That was until we tried Digital 9000; unlike others we tried, we found it sounded even better than the cable."
