Dave Wooster has been Leona's front of house engineer since the very beginning of her career. He was there at every step of the American adventure. "From the outset of this project the brief has always been to use the best and to accept no compromise," he says. "So we had no option other than to use the Sennheiser 5200 with the Neumann KK105 head and the G2 in-ear system. We had been using a KMS 105 in rehearsals so the transition to radio was an easy choice."
Both engineer and artist were also impressed with the monitoring system. "With the G2 system," continues Wooster, "all I can say is the one time during the six shows that we were forced by a production to use another system was the only day Leona questioned what was so dramatically different and why we had to change. I think that says it all."
