Good utility mic.
Ron StewartGUEST
67:49
They're a large diaphragm, and sort of like an FET-47 is what they're modeling on that, or shooting for.
Ron StewartGUEST
67:58
But they're a great sounding microphone.
Keith BillickHOST
68:01
Yeah, I have one of those too that I'm happy with, and I got it in big part because I heard that J.D. liked it.
JustinHOST
50:07
Nothing is historically documented as far as their amps here.
JustinHOST
50:11
Mics were likely EMI's usual Neumann U47, U48s.
JustinHOST
50:15
They used a lot for vocals, and AKG STC for instruments, but again, nothing is nailed down specifically for this session.
JustinHOST
50:26
Okay, so now we need to get inside the console.
JustinHOST
52:29
But you kinda had to commit to that and make sure that's what you wanted.
JustinHOST
52:33
But, okay, so the microphone choices on this thing is they had a standard period chain for Studio 2 to the Red console at the time for the preamp and EQ and, and then going through the Studer J37.
JustinHOST
52:47
But I couldn't find the exact microphones on this, but they were likely Neumann U47s, U48s.
JustinHOST
52:54
That's what they were using in EMI at the time.
Andrew PetersHOST
6:12
It should last for decades.
Robert MarshallHOST
6:14
So basically, you have a now refreshed cardioid hybrid between a U67 and a U47.
Robert MarshallHOST
6:21
It's not a U57 because we've seen that too.
Robert MarshallHOST
6:24
So it's a U half and half.
Andrew PetersHOST
8:35
Yeah.
Robert MarshallHOST
8:36
So yeah, you have this like kind of, because we all know that the U67 is famous for the EF86 tube.
Robert MarshallHOST
8:43
So you have this kind of in between U47, U67 microphone.
Andrew PetersHOST
8:48
And the interesting thing is the transformer inside the microphone is the same as the ones used for the C12.
Garrett MillerGUEST
16:28
And then a Warm
Carson BruceHOST
16:30
Audio FET-47 on the out.
Carson BruceHOST
16:32
Very
Garrett MillerGUEST
16:32
nice.
Garrett MillerGUEST
16:33
It is probably not as good as a real Neumann.
Garrett MillerGUEST
16:38
FET-47, but it is just for the money.
Garrett MillerGUEST
16:41
Yeah.
Garrett MillerGUEST
16:42
Such a good deal.
