Lady Gaga's Gear
In a Twitter post, Lady Gaga is pictured playing a Gretsch G6136T White Falcon Electric Guitar while promoting her Dive Bar Tour.
Lady Gaga frequently uses the Shure BETA 54 microphone during her live performances, including her Monster Ball, Born This Way Ball, and ArtRave tours. This is evidenced in a live performance video of "Poker Face" from the Born This Way Ball, uploaded by Tima Yunusov on YouTube.
Lady Gaga used this microphone while performing 'Born This Way' at the 53rd GRAMMYs. The microphone was topped with MD 5235 capsule.
In an August 2020 article with "Sound On Sound" Gaga's mix Engineers Benjamin Rice and Tom Norris Confirm her vocal chain used consistently in her music: "I have been using the same chain on LG for years, which starts with her personal, vintage Neumann U47, which I think is 60 years old now, and that has a great sound. We're used to it, and she loves singing into it. That goes into her vintage Neve 1073 mic pre, and then into a Tube-Tech CL-1B compressor, and straight into Pro Tools. It doesn't matter where we are, whether it's a studio, or at her house, or on a bus, I travel with this chain and record her with it. It makes it easier for me to punch in and out and combine takes from different days and places.
Lady Gaga can be seen using these headphones throughout the performance.

In an August 2020 article with "Sound On Sound" Gaga's mix Engineers Benjamin Rice and Tom Norris Confirm her vocal chain used consistently in her music: "I have been using the same chain on LG for years, which starts with her personal, vintage Neumann U47. The desirability is based primarily on the synergy of the microphones three sound-shaping components: capsule, tube, transformer. The condenser microphone capable of transporting both female and male vocal pitch, silently over low noise controlled voltage, was used by Frank Sinatra, who owned his own U 47. Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Tony Bennett and the Beatles also used the German made microphone to broadcast"

Another of the night’s big winners was Sennheiser user Lady Gaga, who stole the limelight on the red carpet as well as onstage, where she emerged from an egg to showcase her new song, “Born This Way,” with the aid of a custom chrome SKM 5200 transmitter topped with an MD 5235 capsule.
