Dr. Dre's Microphones

In this article, it quotes Dr. Dre saying, "I like my vocals to sound 'crystal.' I use the Sony C800-G for vocals because it has a clean sound and about 85% of the people that get behind it sound great. My main objective is that the vocal sound is present and clean and ultimately does not distort. I get the sound I want out of the EQ on the SSL. We've used it forever and have made many hits on it, including 50s 'In Da Club'."
