Gary Barlow

In an Instagram story on 16th April 2021, Gary showcased some of his studio equipment, including a pair of Sennheiser HD 660S Headphones.

Gary posted a photo of his Modal 002 on his Twitter account.

Originally announced as 16 dates - later extended to 27- the Gary Barlow: In Concert tour sold out in minutes raising much needed funds for The Prince's Trust and The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry. Backed by a nine-piece band plus guest appearances, Sennheiser SKM 5200 MkII wireless handheld microphones with MD 5235 heads were used for all vocals, plus EW 572 G3 instrument radio systems for the musicians. “We used the same microphone combination with Gary on the last Take That tour, where we had great results with it,” says front of house engineer Gary Bradshaw. “It’s a very nice hi-fi sounding capsule, it’s extremely robust and it works in all conditions. It also has great rejection, which was really important on a tour like this; we’re mainly playing theatres with a few arena shows and the audience can be really loud, so this was a great choice for all situations.” Monitor engineer Steve Lutley agrees, saying, “The 5235 capsule is amazing for not picking up background noise. Audio quality is very important to Gary - he spends much of his working life in the studio, he knows exactly how everything is supposed to sound and he’s very critical of the sound, which is a good thing. He really cares, as does musical director Mike Stevens.”

Barlow and most of the band used Sennheiser 2000 in-ear systems, with SR 2050 transmitters, EK 2000 receivers and AC 3200 combiners. “We’re using the same equipment combination as on the last Take That tour, although it doesn’t need to cover such a large area because the venues are smaller,” says Steve. “As with the microphones, the IEMs have to be of a certain standard because what the backline and vocals are exactly the same, whether the show is in a stadium or a club. The quality of the equipment has to be the same wherever and whenever Gary performs, whether it’s a live concert or in the studio.”
