The Biebs, who brought gal pal Selena Gomez as his date, even took the stage with the singer/songwriter. Bieber has covered Halter’s track “Come Home to Me” in his own shows, and on Thursday night he sang the tune right alongside the singer, much to Halter’s amazement.

Did you know? The enCORE 200 is incredible in handling loud bass frequencies that could muddy up a live performance. Its ability to handle loud SPL (sound pressure level) makes it the perfect mic for kick drums, tom toms and bass amplifiers.
Tips for great bass sound:
Don’t forget to put on the phantom power, the active circuit helps create the smooth response need in this application. 
Place the microphone closes to the signal source. Don’t be afraid to get right on top of the amplifier or drum, the enCORE 200 will not distort. This way there is little bleed through in the mix.
EQ to your liking adding or subtracting the frequencies that help blend the mix of your live performance.
