Jacob Collier's Condenser Microphones
In the description of Collier's cover of Close to You by The Carpenters, he says that two of these microphones were used to record the song. During the recording for In My Room, these were used as the main instrument microphones. They could be seen as drum overheads, guitar, and percussion microphones in various YouTube videos before 2017. Since 2017, when Ben Bloomberg outfitted his room with a bunch of recording equipment, these have wandered around the room a ton. They could be seen above the piano, as a vocal mic by the piano, but most recently (as of 2020), his pair (or possibly two pairs) of 414s are used on snare.

This microphone can be seen in the upper right hand corner by Jacob's head, throughout the live stream. He's used it since before In My Room, and transitioned to using his modified U87Ai when he got that in early 2018. The microphone has since been seen as his vocal microphone at the piano. After the power supply got fried, he switched to the Neumann for one performance and the AEA ribbon ever since.

He mentions this is his new main microphone towards the beginning.

Jacob uses a pair of these to record stereo percussion and refers to them as his "trusty Mojaves" in several livestreams. They're seen in the background throughout this video & used at 1:19:15 and 1:23:25.
