In the attached article, the Production Manager and FOH Engineer of Khalid said they use DPA's d:facto 4018VL mics for Khalid's live performances, after trial and error with other mics.

In the attached article, Khalid's production team for his live gigs discuss the gear they use. Included, Khalid's monitor engineer Landon Storey shares, "Shure Axient AD2s, SM58 capsules and DPA d:facto II capsules performed wireless mic duties. Shure Axient, AXT920, AXT902, AXT600, and Yamaha HS7 Studio Monitors made up the monitor equipment."

In the attached infographic / article on the sound production for Khalid's live performances, his sound tech states, “I had to use an S6L at a festival in China, and I was blown away by how much better it sounded,” he says. “If I can take care of the sound on the front end, why wouldn’t I be using this?” The switch to the S6L produced dramatic results. “It’s almost a night-and-day difference. The midrange is more usable; on my previous consoles, I equalized a lot of things out, but I don’t have to do that with the S6L. From the get-go, you can turn up the preamps and they sound the way they should. Anything anybody can do to get a better sound coming from the source is good; I think the preamps sound more interesting and livelier.”

In the attached infographic / article, Khalid's production manager and front-of-house engineer (C.J. Blair) outlines a lot of the gear used on their tours and live gigs. Blair says, “I’m using an Empirical Labs Fatso [EL7x] on the guitar and an Empirical Labs Distressor on his main and spare vocal." “Khalid is a really dynamic and soft singer at times,” Blair notes. “He can be screaming one minute and the next he’s dead quiet, and you’re trying to get him above a dense-sounding band.”

In the attached article, Khalid's production team discuss gear used on Khalid's live performances. His monitor engineer at the time, Landon Storey gave his contributions. The article states, "Storey brought in a Shure PSM 1000 IEM monitoring system and SB900 battery packs to tackle RF."
