King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

In this performance the entire band is seen using the EV 635a microphone for vocals (and harmonica). This took place in 2015 in Seattle, USA. The EV 635a is a field journalism microphone. Because of this it has a unique sound that works well for lo-fi recordings. First seen at 00:16 infront of guitarist/backup vocalist. Seen again at 0:45 beeing used by lead vocalist.

Charlie Watts

Used during the Muscle Shoals sessions as a hi-hat mic, as stated by mix engineer Jimmy Johnson in this September 21, 2018 ProSoundWeb interview. > Then I had a hi-hat mic, which I think was another (EV) RE-15, though it could have been a little (EV) 635A—that remains in question. The RE15 was a better mic, had more response. We avoided using the 635A unless we had to. Actually, if not the RE15 it might have been a (Shure) SM57, more likely than the 635A.

Great Lo-Fi mic

This is a great microphone if you are recording Lo-Fi vocals. The downside is you have to kiss the mic to get a balanced-volume recording.

I have one of these SOMEWHERE! My buddy got it at a yardsale for like 5 bucks and gave it to me after we used it to add some color to a set of demos for his band. I wonder where it got to. Its such a skronky little dynamic, seeing it here is making me wanna record something with it!

you see these being held by singers in old 70s TV performance clips...

I got mine from a friend because I remembered seeing Bowie holding one when he sang 'little drummer boy' with Bing Crosby....

a passable little handheld dynamic suitable for lots of applications where you don't need or want wide bandwidth and dynamics... but not spectacular on guitar speakers.
