aMEI switches to Sennheiser’s MM 445 capsule for extended world tour

Taiwanese Mandopop singer and record producer aMEI (also known as A-Mei) has chosen Sennheiser’s MM 445 capsule for her Digital 6000 wireless system during the current leg of her “ASMR World Tour”, a tour that launched in 2022 and has continued ever since. aMEI has been a long-time Sennheiser user - from her previous 5000 series analogue microphone system to the current Digital 6000 system, which she adopted five years ago, Sennheiser microphones have accompanied her on numerous performances.

Until now, aMEI’s capsule of choice was the MD 9235, which the singer used for the “Long Time No See TikTok Summer Concert 2021” and the “ASMR World Tour” in 2022 and 2023. Earlier this year, Chen Qiyao („Yao“), aMEI’s monitor engineer for the tour, tested various Sennheiser microphone capsules on the SKM 6000 handheld transmitter, and ultimately decided for an MM 445 capsule.

“During the trial, aMEI sang just one line with the SKM 6000/MM 445 combo and was instantly amazed by the performance of the microphone”, shares Chen Qiyao. “Her singing is rich in emotion and very delicate, with a strong sense of story. The high sensitivity of the MM 445 captures and reproduces the emotional changes and rich detail in her voice, making the performance more expressive and appealing.”

“aMEI listens through floor monitors when she sings, so we needed a microphone with excellent rejection and S/N ratio”, adds Chen Qiyao. “The MM 445 meets our requirements very well. During monitoring, I rarely have to re-adjust the volume.”
