Microphones . As a songwriter for many years, recording has been an everyday occupation. The pleasure of working with the best mics, is that you only think about the performance.
In the center is a Neumann U47. All original, built in 1950 itis simply the best. Beside the U47 on both sides are two Neumann M149s. These are modern day top of the range valve Neumann mics. On the right (greenish color) is the Neumann Gefell UM57, as a copy of the famous Berlin Neumann U47, the UM57 is perhaps the best value mic in its' class today. It is as close to the U47 as anything I have heard. On the outside left and right is a matched pair of Neumann KM84s.
Other mics include a pair of Neumann Valve KM54s. The Best acoustic instrument microphones ever made, the KM54 is the forerunner to the industry standard KM84. Early KM54Ns have nickle diaphrams and respond to harmonic overtones in stringed instruments the way nothing else does.
