In this interview with Tony Visconti from Sound on Sound, the producer states, "David bought himself the Manley Gold Reference stereo mic about 10 or 12 years ago — he'd kept it in storage, and when he asked me if I'd be interested in trying it out, I said 'sure'. I love anything made by Manley, and so we took the mic out of mothballs for Heathen, and it worked so great that we used it again on this album."
