Microphones used by Erykah Badu on Mama's Gun
Avg price: $16,111.00
Used for vocals on Mama's Gun, as stated by engineer Russell Elevado in this July 21, 2017 Crack interview.
I used the Neumann U47 and U67 quite a lot on Erykah’s vocals as well as on drums and bass. I also used the RCA 44-B ribbon mic to record Roy Hargrove’s horns. The RCA 44-B microphone is from the 50s and the Neumann microphones from the 60s.
All of the mics would go through vintage mic preaamps like Neve and Telefunken.
I also used an Ampeg B-15 amplifier for the bass, and vintage Pultec tube equalisers.

An SM58 with a Beta 57 pop screen was used live for vocals on the Mama's Gun tour, as stated by FOH engineer Gordon Mack III in this March 1, 2001 Mix Online interview.
Erykah Badu sings into a slightly modified Shure SM58. “We tried different vocal mics,” says FOH engineer Gordon Mack III. “Erykah’s happy with the regular Shure 58, but she didn’t like the wind screen, so we took that off and put a Beta 57 wind screen on it, and it works just fine.”
