Microphones used by Jacob Collier on Djesse Vol. 3
Avg price: $220.00
Seen all the way through the video as the vocal microphone for the lead Jacob. Typically positioned as a vocal microphone for the Wurlitzer along the wall. It was added to the room by October 2019, as it is visible in the recordings of James Copus laying down some trumpet tracks.
Avg price: $41.28
As seen on the image above. Replacing the Neumann WS87, this has been the windscreen on his main vocal microphone for most of Djesse Vol. 2, as well as all of Vol. 3 - it's unlikely he'll replace it soon. The W414X came in the box with his AKG C414 XLII, which he got around 2015 and still uses. It's one of the only rectangular grey windscreens available. Using a foam windscreen instead of a circular pop-filter is uncommon, as it doesn't prevent plosives from overloading the microphone nearly as much, and most of them attenuate the high-end. Collier typically places his microphone slightly to the right of his mouth, so plosives wouldn't be a big problem without the windscreen.

Acoustic & Acoustic-Electric Basses
Avg price: $419.99
Seen throughout the video, hanging on the wall to the right of the door. Obviously a Fender acoustic bass, the pickguard shows that this has to be the Kingman SCE.
