Mentioned in this Mix Online article about the Rock Witchu Tour.

To help the R&B/pop singer shine through a mix that wouldn't be out of place at a rock 'n roll show, front-of-house engineer Jon Lemon and monitor engineer Blake Suib selected Sennheiser's SKM 5200 wireless handheld transmitter outfitted with a Neumann KK 105 S capsule.

Jackson is using both a headset and a handheld mic on the Rock Witchu Tour, says Lemon, who arranged for an audition of an array of potential microphones for the singer. "Blake and I were keen on the Sennheiser/Neumann package," he reports. "She preferred it, and we preferred it to everything that was out there. I knew she wanted a full-bodied tone. So, for the sections of the show where she uses a handheld, we went with the KK 105 S capsule on the SKM 5200. The mic then was modified - the show designer bejeweled the whole microphone with some special crystals."
