Famed engineer and producer has worked with some of the biggest names in rock and roll, but he may be best-known for his work on the Rolling Stones' classic Exile on Main Street and Led Zeppelin's IV. In this interview with Shure, he talks about some of those experiences and what microphones he used.
Shure Microflex MX400D Series microphones are miniature electret condenser gooseneck microphones with a desktop base and attached 3m (approximate)/10ft cable. The desktop base allows these microphones to be used in multi-purpose rooms where quick set-up is required, or where permanent installation is impractical. The Microflex Gooseneck microphones bring a whole new meaning to the word flexible. Beyond their fully adjustable goosenecks lies a new level of flexibility the new Microflex interchangeable condenser microphone cartridge. Designed for easy replacement and available in cardioid polar pattern, the interchangeable cartridge offers wide frequency response and accurate sound reproduction for a broad variety of applications, such as houses of worship, courtrooms and conference centers. Plus, the condenser cartridges fit every model in the new Microflex product line for enhanced convenience and consistent sound.
