Follow on Google News | Coheed & Cambria Progressively Rock with SennheiserCoheed and Cambria rely on Sennheiser e 945 vocal mics and ew 300 IEM G2 wireless personal monitors for all their live engagements. In addition, founding members Sanchez and Travis Stever count on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones.
By: Hummingbird Media Although Sanchez takes the lead, all four members sing into Sennheiser e 945 super-cardioid dynamic microphones. Both Joey Brueckmann (tour manager/monitors) Contributing to the band’s clean live sound is well-controlled stage volume, with all four members of the band using stereo Sennheiser ew 300 IEM G2 wireless personal monitors. Two techs each have their own pack, Brueckmann uses one for himself, and they travel with one spare for guest musicians. “In addition to my duties at monitors, I’m dealing with the tour manager side of things,” said Brueckmann. “As a result, I often have to set up quickly, sometimes moments before a gig in festival season. Sennheiser’s wireless technology is a true lifesaver. The scan function always comes through for me, and there are always ample frequencies to choose from. We’ve traveled the world using the 600 MHz band, and the ew 300 IEM G2s have performed flawlessly.” During the writing and recording process, either in their home studios or on laptops in the tour bus, Sanchez and Stever use Sennheiser HD 280 Pro circumaural headphones. “They’re very happy with the overall response of the headphones,” But Sennheiser’s influence on Coheed and Cambria doesn’t end there. Much of the low-end sound at a Coheed and Cambria concert originates at a Sennheiser capsule. Bass player Michael Todd’s cabinet finds its way to the PA via a classic Sennheiser MD 421 II dynamic, and drummer Chris Pennie’s toms do so via Sennheiser clip-on dynamic e 604s. “Michael is a very active player and he’s all over the fretboard,” said Edwards. “The MD 421 gives me that smooth low-mid sound that makes his bass lines so intelligible. For the toms, the e 604s really bring out the essence of the drum, with only minor EQ. And, as a bonus, they can really take a pounding without trouble.” Nevertheless, things do happen and gear needs to be repaired. “The assistance from the Sennheiser global support network is just amazing,” said Brueckmann. “If I need something, Sennheiser has replacement units sent to us before I can even get the old ones out the door! That’s the kind of service and support that keeps a tour running as smoothly as possible.” For more information on Coheed and Cambria visit: www.coheedandcambria.com. End
