Ed Sheeran

During the U.S leg of Ed's 2014 Multiply tour, front-of-the-house and monitor engineer Chris Marsh decided to swith both Ed's vocal and loop vocal mic for a pair of Sennheiser SKM 9000's. Simultaneously going wireless with his guitars as well using the Sennheiser SK 9000, Chris states: "From an audio point of view, his vocal became a lot more prominent and his guitar sounded more natural. On top of that we’ve been doing stadiums, so having something that has such strong RF capability made a real difference. It meant that Ed could be up to 50m away from the receivers and still have rock-solid reception. It’s made a really big difference to the show and to Ed’s ability to move around the stage.” (taken from interview with Sports Video Group, august 14, 2015)

Ed has been using the Sennheiser Digital 9000 system for both his last legs of the Multiply tour (including gigs at London's Wembley Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park) and will continue to use it for his Divide tour, starting 2017.

No, this is not the exact same microphone he uses, but it is really close. The reason why it can't be the same is, that he built a custom capsule with his sound engineer. But the body looks identical. At 1:13 you can get a great look of the side where you can see that it is the same.

But you can find variations for it. The reason why I chose this one is, that it was mentioned by Ed Sheeran's sound engineer, that he uses a custom 865 capsule. I don't know if it's a big difference.

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."

Trevor, Ed's sound tech, says, "a 2000-series radio mic fitted with a custom 5235 capsule, which is relayed through a Sennheiser EM2050 radio system straight to the front of the house and a Sennheiser e945 vocal loop mic, which again runs into the new loop system," in this interview.

At 5:38 in the YouTube video titled "Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran - Everything Has Changed live on BGT (HD)," Ed Sheeran is seen using the Shure PGXD14 Digital Wireless Guitar System.

During "X" tour, Ed was suggested to use Sennheiser new gear by the monitor engineer Chris Marsh: “Digital 9000 Series has changed our lives,” says Chris. “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".
