10 Accessories for Singers

The instrument of a singer is their voice. Other musicians, who need to drag a drum kit or multiple guitars around the globe, may be somewhat jealous. And on top of that, they have the privilege of being at center stage. But it’s not quite that simple, as life on tour or in the studio is not without technical support. For this reason, here are ten useful gadgets to make the life of a singer much easier. Enjoy!

The right microphone stand

K&M 26125

1. The right microphone stand is essential to every singer on stage. The K & M 26125 has an adjustable height up to 1.70 metres and is equipped with a stable, but light round cast-iron base which will hold up to the most rigorous performances!

The mic

Shure SM86

2. If you want your voice to sound on stage like it does in the studio, then you’ll need the right microphone. Not only is the Shure SM86 perfectly tuned to the voice, it also reduces the noise level with a very effective shock absorber and offers a near-silent transmission in studio quality. Furthermore, it’s so durable it can handle the hard stresses of everyday life on stage.

Wireless system

the t.bone GigA Pro Vocal Set

3. If the cable is geting in the way of your performance, it’s time for a wireless microphone system. At a low price, the t.bone GigA Pro Vocal Set is a professional Giga Pro true diversity receiver and Giga Pro handheld transmitter in an ergonomically shaped condenser microphone with Cardioid polar pattern. Up to six frequencies can be operated in parallel and with a frequency range of 20 to 20000 Hz to ensure that every nuance of your voice is carried over authentically.

InEar monitoring

the t.bone IEM 200

4. Without proper monitoring, a good performance is doomed to failure! Floor wedges are great, but adding a functional in-ear system such as the t.bone IEM 200 – 606 MHz, can put the icing on your performance. A relatively small investment for more control and precise, clean monitoring.

Mic Looper

TC-Helicon Ditto Mic Looper

5. Built-in effects in the mixer are great, until you have your own Mic-Looper. This can open up completely different levels of vocal presentation, such as the excellent Ditto Mic Looper by TC Helicon, which is easy and super fun to use.

Voice effects

TC-Helicon Mic Mechanic 2

6. Alone on the road and no sound engineer in sight? No problem! With the TC Helicon Mic Mechanic 2 you always have your own personal sound specialist. And it has a variety of voice-controlled effects such as reverb and delay, an automated compressor, EQ and de-esser, and even pitch correction and phantom power. Insert the mic and let the TC-Helicon Mic Mechanic 2 take care of the rest.

Pop filter

the t.bone MS 250 Metall-Popkiller

7. The t.bone MS 250 is a metal pop killer with a 310 mm long gooseneck and is easily adjustable. This rimless pop filter with a diameter of 13.5 removes otherwise inevitable unwanted noise and disturbances caused by certain sounds.

Illumination

Mighty Bright Xtra Flex 2 Blue

8. The Mighty Bright Xtra Flex 2 ensures that illumination isn’t lost even in the dimmest of studios, and allows for better viewing of your notes. This practical LED lamp easily clamps to surfaces of approx. 25mm in thickness, and is available in various colors.

Reduction thread

K&M 215

9. Never forget an extra reduction thread adapter! This allows the microphone stand to fit most microphone holders and is often accidentally left behind.

Essential Oils

WegoForm Singer Oil

10. There are many factors that can affect your voice: dry air, temperature fluctuations, insufficient regeneration phases during busy tours, and so and so on. The WegoForm singer’s oil protects your voice from hoarseness using various essential oils by effectively protecting the mucous membranes.
