Our Equipment
This is a list of what we're currently using in our live show. I'm a bit of a gear nut, so this will likely change from month to month. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions or comments, and from fellow musicians, I'd love any suggestions or thoughts on how you think our live sound can be improved. Thanks!

Some notes:
I'm a die-hard In-Ear fan now that we've finally taken the plunge. If you can make the investment, it will change the whole way you play live. As a singer, it's like you're in a studio, and you feel that you can sing forever. I'll never go back. The Sennheiser G2 is a killer system, really clear, and Sensaphonics makes some awesome custom ear pieces.
I'm really digging my new vocal mic, it's a Neumann KMS105, I got curious after I kept seeing it on the stages of singers I loved, so I picked one up. It's the real deal... Incredible Stuff. I run that into a PreSonus Eureka Preamp, with a dbx 166XL patched across the insert for the real vocal compression. After that, I use the milder PreSonus compression with a high pass filter for de-essing, and then add just a little bit of EQ before I send it out to the board. I run an AUX feed off the board out to the TC M-One XL for delay and reverb, which I then mix back in on the return. I'm more happy with my vocal sound now than I've ever been, and I really recommend all that stuff. It won't break the bank either... but its certainly everything we need!
