The Sun Comes Out with Shakira and Sennheiser Mapping the expanse of Shakira's dedicated fan base, The Sun Comes Out world tour includes stops in North America, Europe, South America, Asia, and Africa over a span of 12 months. The tour supports her two most recent studio albums, She Wolf and Sale El Sol. Sennheiser wireless microphones, wireless personal monitoring systems, and wireless instrument systems are used on the tour. Shakira's vocals are covered by a Neumann KK 105 S condenser capsule with a Sennheiser SKM 5200-II transmitter and EM 3732-II receiver. Shakira and her musicians, percussionists and dancers all rely on Sennheiser ew 300 IEM G3 wireless personal monitors. A total of 14 wireless Sennheiser SK 2000-XP instrument body pack transmitters cover the mobile instruments, including Shakira's own guitar. Six Sennheiser EM 2050 receivers grab the wireless signals from the air with the assistance of Sennheiser A2003-UHF antennas. When the tour wraps up at the end of September in Rio de Janeiro, Shakira, her band, and the technical support crew will have played 104 shows and traveled to every corner of the globe. Sennheiser global relations manager Kristy Jo Winkler, who attended the show, shared, "Even though I was standing with 10,000 fans, the show had the intimacy of a small club. The musicality of the Sennheiser wireless instrument systems and the confidence it gave the musicians played a significant role in the show's great energy. But of course it was Shakira's winning charisma and practiced, yet effortless delivery that cemented the performance."
