Alex Turner

Rock guitarist Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys uses the Sennheiser e906 Dynamic Guitar Amp Microphone, which is hooked up to his Fender Vintage Reissue '65 Twin Reverb Guitar Amp.

The Shure SM57 Instrument/Vocal microphone is used to mic the Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 Amplifier that lead guitarist Alex Turner uses for his performances with the Arctic Monkeys.

"Mic-wise, when it came to recording Alex Turner’s vocals (and the backing vocals sung by Matt Helders), Abbiss moved between a Shure SM7 and a Neumann U67 and U87. “If Alex was doing a vocal live, we used the SM7, ‘cause it’s really good at rejecting spill from anything else. The U67 they’ve got there is good and middly sounding. Matt never did his BVs as part of the live takes, he concentrated on his drumming. The 87 was there for the BVs.”- Jim Abbiss, producer of "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor".

At 0:45 you can actually see the Beta 57, a mic that Alex used to use before the Humbug era.

"There’s also a Sennheiser 421 in the back of each cabinet to give more energy for FOH," mentions Will Doyle, a sound engineer that knows about Alex Turner's equipment setup, in reference to the Sennheiser MD 421 Microphone.

In this article featuring an interview with the Arctic Monkeys front of house engineer, Matthew Kettle, Matthew says that Alex uses an e 935 in the third paragraph (also shown in this image).
