Sennheiser e935 a tourer with Ora
BRITISH SINGER-songwriter Rita Ora recently completed the sold out 12-date UK leg of her Radioactive Tour, where FOH engineer Chris ‘Bronski’ Jablonski deployed a selection of Sennheiser microphones for her performances. “Sennheiser wireless products
are second to none,” said Bronski. “It’s always the easiest choice to make, and it helps that Rita’s voice sounds great on an SKM 2000 with an e935 capsule. Her vocal always sits on top of the mix, and the e935 enables me to find delicacies in her strong delivery.” “The same goes for the e904s and e604s we have dotted around on various toms and snares
“Ora’s voice sounds great on an SKM 2000 with an e935 capsule” – FOH engineer Bronski
