TC-Helicon and Sennheiser launch bundles for singers

TC-Helicon and Sennheiser have launched two bundles for singers and singer/guitarists. The packages include Sennheiser’s e 835 fx microphones and an option of either the VoiceLive Play vocal effects unit for singers or the VoiceLive Play GTX for singer/guitarists from TC-Helicon.

At the heart of the bundles is the evolution e 835 fx, which boasts an effects control button that allows the singer to perform multiple actions, such as switching presets or toggling HIT, LOOP, as well as Talk functions. Its neodymium transducer magnet makes it possible to balance signals against higher levels of on-stage amplification, and can reportedly handle sound pressure levels in excess of 150dB.

Via its built-in RoomSense microphones, TC-Helicon’s VoiceLive Play will detect the key of other musical sources to create vocal harmonies – or to provide a live stage mix for vocalists using wireless monitors. It boasts adaptive EQ, compression, de-essing, and pitch correction. Effects also include the TC-Helicon VLOOP performance looper, and there are over 200 genre presets to select from, with hundreds more to download for free.

For practising, vocalists can connect their MP3 player and record themselves. Further inputs and outputs include stereo XLR outputs, a headphone socket and USB connector for audio streaming and recording.

Meanwhile, VoiceLive Play GTX for singer/guitarists adds guitar effects to the vocal effects that VoiceLive Play offers, including full editing ability.
