Alan Parsons' Microphones

"I've always favoured the Neumann U47. I don't own one, but whenever there's one available I always try and use it for vocals. AKG Dynamics on toms-toms. I normally favour a condenser mic for snare drums like a Neumann 84, which is unusual because most engineers prefer dynamics on snare drums. I only mic the top of the snare never the bottom. For overheads, ribbon mics, preferably Coles 4038s."
