Micspotting - the “do you recognize this mic?” thread

[rock soderstrom]

Continuing, here's a Bob Dylan special to mark the weekend.

In the first video, there are four(!) microphones at the start, can anyone explain what we're seeing?


...and as an extra bonus, a microphone with a very striking design. Does anyone know it?

EV 664, i believe?

can

The shockmounted one might be a D12 (or variant thereof), but no idea about the rest...

I think you're right again! How did you find it so quickly? Did you know it beforehand? Edit: But it seems to be a version without the characteristic microphone "foot" (with the switch etc)

That's what I thought at first, but there were a lot of microphones in this design and this festival was in the States, so I'm guessing a US product? The shockmount is really strange...

I was aware of it, and that it was an EV; just wasn't sure which 6xx model it was

D25 perhaps? Thank you, google image search (despite looking for "akg d12 shockmount")...

Right again, Sherlock! I have to admit, I didn't know the D25, and this is the first time I've seen this striking shock mount!

You were close, but it is a 666 (diabolic microphone)
