Stevie Nicks likes to sing into a Sennheiser 935 dynamic microphone, as do all the backing vocalists. Says Morgan, “With most everyone on in-ears, the amount of off-axis stuff that comes in with a dynamic is significantly less than with a condenser, and it tends to give you better separation in the ear mixes and you also have a lot less random high-end leakage.”
