Jacob Collier's Gear

Hide incorrect submissions

Used by him since 2017, mainly to record vocals. Basically visible in every single livestream he's done from his music room! From what we know about the size of his monitor & keyboard, this seems to be the XL version of the arm.

These were his secondary studio monitors before he switched to Avantones. As seen in an instagram livestream linked above, around 14:33.

As seen on the ultimate image of Jacob gear above. He's used this monitor since late 2017, when Ben Bloomberg helped fill the room with new gear. It's a 4k monitor so that he can see as many tracks as possible at once, and it's 32" so everything isn't tiny at native resolution. It's branded Acer as seen on the picture, and from the bezels and the location of the USB-A ports on the right side, you can make out that it's the BM320.

Two Avedis Audio MA5 microphone preamps can be seen at the very top of his rack. One of these is used for his main vocal microphone, with 28k shelf engaged, as discussed in the Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star livestream. If you download the Logic Session from his website or get a particularly good screenshot from a livestream of his, you can see that his 21st Audio Input, entitled "Sing", is his vocal mic. On his Interface, that is the first channel of DANTE inputs, when in 96khz or 192khz. This suggests he uses one of the Grace m108 units at the bottom of the rack for conversion on this channel, not the Focusrite itself.
