Céline Dion's Condenser Microphones
At 1:25 During a tracking session for her duet with Ne-Yo, Céline Dion is filmed tracking with a Telefunken Ela M 251 Large Diaphragm Tube Microphone.
Mentioned by sound system engineer Francois "Frankie" Desjardins in this May 28, 2018 Live Design article.
As the relationship continued to build, so did the show's use of DPA microphones. "In 2013, DPA introduced us to the d:facto FA4018V Vocal Microphone and we were intrigued," adds Desjardins. "Celine is always keen to try new technologies so we were able to get her to try the d:facto vocal mic and she liked it. We were very happy with the natural sound in the room and the new mic gave us a better definition in the low/mid, and a sweeter sound in the high/mid. It was a really good match for Celine, so we added the d:facto to our rotation of vocal microphones for each show."
In total, Desjardins and Savage use more than 40 DPA microphones for each performance including Dion's three d:facto FA4018V Vocal Microphones (which include main wireless, spare wireless and wired), four d:facto FA4018V Vocal Microphones for the backup singers and guests, two d:dicate 2011A Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Microphones on the snare drums, 19 d:vote 4099 mics for the strings and brass sections, eight d:screet 4091 Omnidirectional Microphones for the sound system analyser, two d:dicate 4007 Omnidirectional Microphones for sound system tuning and six d:screet 4061 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphones for the crowd under the balcony.
In this video, Celine recorded the vocals for the songs Water to a Flame and Didn't Know Love on the M49 off of the album "Loved Me Back To Life".
