“I sing very loud. I can just blast the diaphragm of a mic to the point where the engineer almost can’t take enough gain out. But the HHa stands up to that better than any mic I’ve ever tried”
Queen Nation's Greg Finsley as Freddie Mercury
Los Angeles, CA (January 3, 2018) ― They sound like Queen. They look like Queen. They will, they will rock you like Queen. Lead singer Greg Finsley simply becomes Freddie Mercury in Queen Nation, the world’s longest-running and most popular Queen tribute band. When he auditioned the Lectrosonics HHa[1] wireless microphone and companion LR receiver[2], as far as he was concerned every other wireless system … bit the dust.
“Lectrosonics was introduced to me by a very hospitable gentleman, Kelly Fair, who had seen us at a show in Redondo Beach,” recalls Finsley about meeting Lectrosonics’ Western Regional Sales Manager. “He noticed our tour schedule, and that we do concerts in every size venue from country clubs to large arenas. He asked, ‘Hey how’s your mic situation up there? Do you carry your own?’ At the time, I didn’t carry my own. Then he showed me the LR receiver module. He turned the thing on — we were in some random place like a restaurant — and I see the little line going across the screen to find the best frequency. Boom! Then he showed me how to pair it with the HHa mic, which has everything on its little menu — gain and all this other stuff. It was really helpful.”
Finsley, who previously had been using the wireless version of another brand mic, was in for a revelation. “I tried the HHa on my next gig and it was remarkable,” he says.
