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."

As for monitors, he continues, "Of course she uses Sennheiser evolution wireless ew 300 IEM G2 personal wireless monitors, with Future Sonics ear buds." The two-and-a-half-hour show, featuring over 45 songs, includes numerous costume changes, making Sennheiser's ultra-compact miniature body-packs an essential element of the show. "They're sewn into pockets everywhere as she has so many costume changes," says Lemon.

In an interview featured in the article "Key Tracks: Jimmy Jam on Janet Jackson’s Control," Jimmy Jam confirmed that Janet Jackson used the AKG C414 XLS microphone during the recording of her "Control" album. "On this record, we used the AKG C414 microphone, which was a pretty standard microphone at the time"

In an interview featured on Red Bull Music Academy, Jimmy Jam confirmed that Janet Jackson used the dbx 160 on her album "Control," stating, "I remember we used a DBX 160, and it was our limiter that we used."

Janet Jackson used the E-mu SP-1200 on her album "Rhythm Nation 1814," as confirmed by Jimmy Jam. In an interview, he stated, "When I spoke earlier about getting different equipment and starting to experiment with other keyboards and drum machines, 'Miss You Much,' 'Love Will Never Do (Without You),' and 'Escapade' were all done on a SP-1200 drum machine, which was a new drum machine to me."
