WHAT MATTERS

FOCUS ON

A GREAT MIX STARTS WITH SENNHEISER

Ive mixed at Buckhead Church for over seven years, and its my job to make sure the worship services are delivered to thousands with impressive sound clarity. Thats why I use the Sennheiser 2000 Series handheld transmitters in combination with Sennheiser dual pattern condenser e965 capsules for all of our vocals. These mics sound so great, you hardly need to EQ them at all. -Dustin Whitt, FOH Engineer and Cofounder of OwnTheMix.com www.sennheiserusa.com/HOW
