Buckhead Church Audio Director Dustin Whitt Mixed FOH Sound for Over a Dozen Bands
“What I didn’t expect,” he continued, “was to be so completely blown away by the MMK 965 condenser capsule! It seems to punch through a mix in the most pleasing way. It’s not harsh or painful in the least, but rather a perfect blend of clarity, presence and warmth.” Whitt observed that vocalists seldom get too excited about the gear they have to use, and their banter is usually about new bands or their favorite TV shows. But with four SKM 2000s with 965 capsules on stage, and over a dozen acts getting to use them, it was all the buzz. “Everyone was talking about that microphone like it was the latest hit single!” he laughed.
Much of the rest of the stage benefitted from Sennheiser wired and wireless technology. Everyone, except the drummer, used Sennheiser ew 300 IEM G3. For his signature drum sound, Whitt used Sennheiser e 901, e 902, and e 904 for close mic’ing and Sennheiser MKH 8040 cardioid condensers for overheads. “I used to mix-and-match my drum mics,” explained Whitt. “But ever since I went with the full Sennheiser package, everything sits together better. The mics are complementary in a way that makes the whole system work together with minimal tweaking.”
Whitt and his business partner, Chris Green, frequently recommend Sennheiser microphones and RF technology on OwnTheMix.com. “I always feel that Sennheiser mics and RF technology offer a lot of professionalism at a semi-pro price,” added Witt. “The sound quality is excellent and the RF reliability is unmatched.”
