His talent in song writing and compelling vocals are making waves in the music industry, and we most warmly welcome him to the Sennheiser family." Jia Hui will be using the 100 series evolution wireless G2 vocal set, which is capable of delivering big, assertive powerful sound, yet sensitive enough to capture even the softest note. With nine frequency banks, and four presets, each Sennheiser system, notorious for being feedback resistant brings the best out of any performance, big or small. The ew 165 condenser supercardiod microphone will be used in Jia Hui's performances, where mobility is important. He will also be using the cardiod state-of-the-art professional evolution 935 vocal microphone, designed to cut through high on-stage levels.
