James Blake's Microphones
At 0:18 of this Apple commercial, Mr. Blake can be seen using the TLM 103, distinguished by its distinctive shock mount design.
Used for Blake's vocals on Beyoncé's "Forward", as stated by producer Stuart White in this this September 24, 2016 AudioTechnology interview.
In the case of James Blake, White recorded him at Conway Studios. White: “He came in, heard the track (Forward), walked up to Bey’s Elam 251 with the same vocal chain (Avalon 737 into Tube Tech CL1B) and sang his vocal pretty much right off the bat. Then he tried some chords on the piano and I recorded him soon after using two older Schoeps W-221 small diaphragm microphones going into Neve 1073 mic pres."
Mr. Blake can be seen singing into $2k+ worth of Manley tube mic @3:18 in this Apple commercial that I am currently seeing everywhere.
"Necesitábamos un gran micrófono en vivo que pudiera transmitir claramente el sonido de James sin demasiado ambiente indeseado, especialmente porque hace muchas bucles vocales sobre la marcha", dice Harley. "The d: facto ™ es sólido como una roca con un patrón polar ajustado para las voces en el escenario, lo que permite que nuestro ingeniero de monitores logre un sonido vocal fantástico y limpio para James y un excelente sonido en todas partes. Es el micrófono perfecto para este tipo de música, que tiene mucho espacio alrededor para que las voces se sienten. También es muy sólido y realmente se nota la diferencia entre d: facto ™ y algunos de los viejos fieles que solía usar ".
