Adele

"According to front of house engineer Dave McDonald the Neumann KMS 104 was always going to be an essential part of Adele's audio makeup. "I've been touring for the last year with Air," he explains, "and we were using the Neumann KMS 104. It takes the vocal and really throws it to the back of the hall with clarity. When I started working with Adele I said: ‘let's get you one of these, a) for health reasons, because you need your own microphone and b) it's the right mic for your vocal'. The KMS 104 just has this depth. It goes right to the bottom and the high end of the vocal and it's crystal clear. That's what I always want. I don't want to be messing around for ages EQing a vocal when I can just put a really good mic on it."

The most highly anticipated performance of the evening finally arrived when Adele took the stage to perform “Rolling in the Deep.” Her favorite nickel-finish Sennheiser SKM 2000-XP wireless handheld transmitter with MMK 965-1 capsule conveyed her beautiful voice to the adoring crowd. Dave McDonald, Adele’s front-of-house engineer, said, “It’s a great microphone. We started using it just after the Brit Awards in February of last year, and she’s loved it ever since.” He adds, “Ninety-nine-point-nine percent of the equipment we use is Sennheiser – and the point-one percent is Neumann.”

Adele mostly use Sennheiser equipment, In her "21" album concert she uses Sennheiser SKM 2000 (white) handheld transmitter.

In this performance she uses Sennheiser SKM 9000, sennheiser's newest flagship microphone, while her backup singers uses the 5000 series, maybe the 5200.

I cannot distinguished which mic capsule did she use, it could be the MMD-945, since this capsule is also compatible with the 2000 series handled transmitter which she previously use, sure it's not a neuman capsule.

While her backup singer might use the entry level mic capsule for their 5000 series handheld transmitter.

00:48:15 BBC: Adele Live in London

"I recorded all Adele's vocals with my Rode Classic 2, going through my UA 6176 mic pre, and never went back to them. The vocals in the final version are all from the demo. She was really going through something and you can hear it in her voice. I think I also used quite a bit of Logic overdrive on her voice, too, to add harmonics."

In this article on Sennheiser.com, front-of-house engineer Dave Bracey states: “This is the first time that Adele, Joe [Campbell, monitor engineer] and I have used Digital 9000,” Dave explains. “Adele had used a different Sennheiser mic for her previous tour, which she really liked. We were going to try out several alternative mics with her during rehearsals, but after we listened to the 9000 we knew we already had the winner. So we compared Adele’s previous Sennheiser mic to the Digital 9000 with a 9235 capsule with her and the 9000 sound was twice as good. It was such a leap forward straight away that we knew it was the right choice. Its whole sonic character is amazing."
