Mentioned on page 181 of Sessions with Sinatra: Frank Sinatra and the Art of Recording by Charles L. Granata.
Recording enthusiasts may have wondered about the microphone depicted on the cover of Strangers in the Night–a mike that looks like curiously like a Shure handheld dynamic microphone. (...) It is, in fact, a Senheiser 405 condenser microphone, a crisp, snappy microphone which was a bit more directional than other condenser mikes.
The book does not specify which kind of Sennheiser 405 was used (the MKH 405, MD 405 S or the MD 405 T). Moreover, the album cover photo is from a November 1965 session for Moonlight Sinatra. However, it is worth noting that the official microphone list for EastWest Studios's Studio One (where Moonlight Sinatra and Strangers in the Night was recorded) lists an MKH 405. Additionally, the MKH 405 is the only 405 not to have a narrowed housing at the mic capsule, matching the uniform, cylindric housing of the Strangers in the Night microphone. One can deduce that the spherical windscreen in the album cover was borrowed from another microphone.
