James Dean Bradfield

Used for vocals on This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours, as stated by engineer Ian Grimble in this June 1998 Sound on Sound interview.

"Mics used on the other instruments included a Sennheiser MKH40, stuck up close to the guitar and keyboard cabinets. The keyboards were mostly analogue — Wurlitzer, Rhodes, Vox Continental — all put through guitar amps. I used an MKH40 and Neumann U87 on the bass cabinet. I usually stuck the microphones through a Vortexion 4‑channel mixer and mic pre‑amp and then straight onto 16‑track. Occasionally we would record upstairs in the room with the oak floor, especially for acoustic guitars. I recorded them with a Neumann 87 or BPM pencil mics as close mics, and Sennheiser MKH20s as ambient mics. The vocals were recorded with a Sennheiser 4032, or Sony C800G valve, and the acoustic piano with the C800G or two Sennheiser MKH40s."
