For the tour, FOH Mixer Dave Natale and Monitor Mixer Shon Hartman have chosen the Austrian Audio OD505WL1 Active Dynamic Microphone Capsule for use on Johnny Depp’s wireless vocal microphone.
In addition, they are also using Austrian Audio OC18 Cardioid Pattern Precision Microphones for overheads and Austrian Audio CC8 Cardioid True Condenser Microphones for the hi-hats, and ride cymbal on drummer Anika Nilles drum set.
Dave Natale (on the right in the photo below) explains: “We use a different PA system everyday. The house installed systems or locally rented systems are hung in different proximities to the vocal microphone. The super cardioid Austrian Audio OD505WL1 has superior off-axis rejection characteristics without sacrificing any audio quality, whatsoever”.
