Hi Chris!

Was thinking about what mic(s) you use in your videos?

 

Cheers, Dre

Hi Dre, 

For these videos I mostly use a Neumann U-89 running through a DAV BG-1 preamp. It’s actually the same setup that Julian and I use when we play live. 

Best,

Chris

Hi, Chris:

What about those small mics from the early days (I think) of the Punch Bros.?  Did you use a pickup as well?

We caught you in Lincoln and Des Moines a couple years back and it was some of the best live music I've seen.

Many thanks for all the lessons, wisdom, and insights,

Paul

Hi Paul, those clip on mics were Audio Technica ATM-35s. Good little microphones that we liked because they weren’t *too* good. The DPA 4099 for instance is an incredible clip on microphone, but for our purposes they were actually too detailed. We have used pickups in conjunction with the clip-ons at times. I vastly prefer using the single mic to any of that, but sometimes in combat-conditions you need to use pickups and clip-ons.
