Billie Eilish's Microphones

Billie's vocals for 'Ocean Eyes' were recorded with the 2020, which sounds great. It's not quite as good as the Neumann, but I have never found a microphone that I like more than the 2020 that's less expensive than the Neumann. The 2020 is a really good starter microphone.

I'm sure she's using a shure SM55 mike, but cannot really tell if it's the deluxe version or the simple serie ii but i'll guess it's the deluxe because the middle seems enhanced (that the main difference between the 2 mikes)

for the timing, 3:22 seems the best to see the full microphone from the back
