George Michael

George uses (used) a Sennheiser SKM 5200 microphone with a Neumann KK 105 capsule, straight off the shelf, and EM 3732-II dual receivers.

Used for Michael's vocals on Faith, as mentioned by sound engineer Chris Porter in this March 2013 Sound on Sound interview.

"The microphone he used on that album was a Neumann M49 at Puk that I ended up buying and still use today for quite a lot of vocal work. It's got a nice, controlled top end, so it's not harsh at the top but very, very open. One of the problems with early digital recordings was that you did tend to get quite a harsh top end that was a bit unforgiving. That has improved a lot over the years, but back then the Sonys and even the Mitsubishis had a ceiling on the top end that was almost like a glass wall. I found the M49 gave you a lovely warmth, a lovely depth with a controlled top end, which you could then accentuate without it becoming too metallic and unnatural.”

George Micheal used this guitar in the music video, Faith.

George Michael used a Linndrum on his "Faith" album.

Used for Michael's vocals on "Faith", as mentioned by sound engineer Chris Porter in this March 2013 Sound on Sound interview. Despite Porter's mention of the 224, the mix settings (which can be found here) reveal it to be a 224x.

"I only used a few effects for George's vocals. The Lexicon 224 produced those extended high-frequency pings that you can hear on the reverb-y vocals, and there was also the AMS RMX16 reverb and DMX 1580 delay line. The real characteristic vocal sound right the way through 'Faith' and beyond was an AMS 30-millisecond delay panned slightly left of centre, a 45-millisecond delay slightly right of centre; sometimes with pitch variation on each side, but generally not.
