Jay-Z's Microphones
With regard to recording Jay?Z at Roc The Mic, Young Guru relates, "My signal chain is normally a Neumann 87 or 67 going into an Avalon 737.
Used on EVERYTHING IS LOVE, as stated by producer Stuart White in this September 2018 Sound on Sound interview.
He recorded both Beyoncé and Jay-Z with his “Telefunken mic, Avalon mic pre, and Tube Tech compressor. That was the chain for the entire album on both of them. I use just the one chain, because they jump back and forth on the mic all day long, and they both sound really good on that mic, so I kept it simple.”
White had previously specified this Telefunken to be an Ela M251 in this September 24, 2016 AudioTechnology interview with producer Stuart White about the production of Beyoncé's Lemonade.
“For the rest I have a Telefunken Ela M251 microphone, an Avalon mic pre, and a TubeTech compressor, all of which I used to record the majority of Bey’s vocals."
