Gregg Mann with John Legend
Gregg Mann, FOH engineer, is currently on tour with John Legend. He has also worked with Alicia Keys. "I use
the Trion
7000 ribbon mic on the electric guitar, it works
very well for us in concert. The C195
sounds far superior to the Shure 58 microphone, it's
a condenser that gives you a full-range sound. I use
the M177's
for miking John Legend's piano, it has very good cancellation
on the back side, so I don't get a lot of reflection
from the top of the piano, with great coverage from
the sensitive side. For drums, we use the equitek e70's
for the high-hat and overheads, I found that this microphone
gives me nice highs but a very good mid-range for the
entire kit. Check out CAD microphones, you won't be
sorry." |
