AsLorde continues her latest global touring and festival cycle spanning arenas, amphitheaters and intimate venues across multiple continents, the production behind her live shows reflects a meticulously crafted sonic vision that leans heavily on premium audio solutions from both DPA Microphones and Wisycom. At the core of this effort are Front of House Mix Engineer Philip J. Harvey and Monitor EngineerKevin Glendinning, whose combined expertise ensures that every performance delivers clarity, consistency and emotional impact.

For the “Ultrasound World Tour,” which concludes October 10, 2026, at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, the undertaking presented a unique set of challenges. From variable RF environments to evolving production formats, Harvey and Glendinning built a streamlined, yet powerful audio ecosystem designed to adapt seamlessly while maintaining pristine sound quality.

For Harvey, who has worked with Lorde for over a decade, the foundation of the shows’ sound begins with the vocal chain. “We’ve been using the DPA d:facto™ 4018VL capsule since the ‘Melodrama’ tour,” he explains. “To me, it’s the most natural-sounding microphone out there. Whether it’s a whisper or a full-on scream, the d:facto captures everything with incredible detail and consistency.” 

While Harvey focuses on delivering a polished front of house mix, Glendinning ensures that the artist and crew receive equally exceptional sound through their in-ear monitoring systems. A longtime advocate of Wisycom, Glendinning has deployed a fully integrated RF setup across the entire production. “All our in-ear monitoring runs through Wisycom MPR50 belt-packs, MTK transmitters, MFL optical link and a CSI16T combiner,” he explains. “We’ve outfitted everyone, from the band to crew members, with the same system. Consistency is key.”
