Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson has used this microphone on almost every she has done.

Mentioned in this Mix Online article about the Rock Witchu Tour.

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.
