Amy Macdonald's Gear
Macdonald is well known for her distinctive voice. Tom Wiggans FOH: "She is a tremendously loud singer as well, which is great for me. Unusually I’m using a Shure 58A for vocals... this is what she was already using when I first started with her. She was happy, it works, why change?"

The duo just released its follow-up, A Curious Thing, on which all of Macdonald’s vocals and guitars, in addition to drums, strings, and backing vocals were recorded with classic Neumann U 87 Ai large-diaphragm condenser microphones.
The bulk of what listeners will focus on – Macdonald’s voice and guitar – was recorded away from the bright lights of the UK studio scene in Wilkinson’s home. He used two Neumann U 87 Ai condensers with EA 87 elastic suspensions to provide separate pick-ups for Macdonald’s voice and guitar, which were recorded simultaneously. A Focusrite VoiceMaster Pro provided modest processing for vocals, and both signals went into a vintage Mac G3 running Cubase via an RME Fireface 800.
