Stromae's Microphones
Used for vocals on the Racine carrée Tour, as stated by monitor engineer Lionel Capouillez in this February 22, 2015 Light Sound Journal interview.
ZioGiorgio.com: Do you use only Shure microphones?
Johan Millet: Yeah, they are all Shure. We’ve got a KSM9 on lead voice. All the musicians doing backing vocals use wired beta 58s. I’ve got some Neumann microphones for the ambiance. Two KM184s on the sides and two KM185s just in front, in the proscenium.
An image of Stromae at his Milan show that tour, taken from the interview, reveals a wireless version. This is further evinced by Millet's discussion of the tour's Shure Axient wireless system.
ZioGiorgio.com: Please tell us about the Shure Axient Wireless System.
Johan Millet: It’s the first time I’ve used it on tour and I’m really satisfied. Every microphone can be controlled remotely by WiFi. Whenever there is something going wrong the program tells me what’s happening and it switches automatically to another frequency. I can control that manually too if I want to, and I can do other cool things with it. The Axient has a frequency analyzer, so I can analyze the frequencies every day. All my rig is on a single network, so I can control every PCM1000 and all the actions together. I can put my frequency plan wherever I want and with the Shure Workbench and my computer I can set up my rig in 15 minutes. It’s pretty simple and really cool. The belt pack’s batteries are remotely controlled by the software as well, so I can know everything about them whenever I want, e.g. if the batteries are like two minutes from being full, or whatever. It’s really nice to work with that.
