Mike Patton

In a photo from the Soundwave festival on February 28, 2015, Mike Patton is seen using the Shure KSM9 microphone.

The liner notes for Mr. Bungle’s live album and video The Night They Came Home report that Mike Patton uses Telefunken. In this performance from 10/31/20 he is seen with a chrome handheld mic that appears to be an M80.

"The final overdubs on the album were Mike Patton’s vocals, which were laid down at his own home studio. [...] “He has an old Orban spring reverb that he really likes that he can drive, which he almost uses like a guitar pedal. And he has these compression settings where he just knows where it feels good for him. He gets a good performance but then he also knows where the sweet spots are and how he can drive it. He also has some kind of funky old delay which he distorts and he brings that in too and records it on a separate track. You can blend that to taste, if you want it. I don’t even know what it is but it’s really funky. Mike has a [Neumann] U87. That’s his mic but we actually did use a [JZ Microphones] Vintage 11 on a couple of things. On some songs, it was great for his voice but on others not so great. It did kind of complement his U87 that he’s always used in the past and that he knows really well. Between those two, we had it covered.”"

Throughout the performance Patton is seen using two Shure Beta 57s one for regular vocals and one for vocals with effects. This is made obvious by the microphone grilles.

In a photograph from Faith No More's performance on October 12, 1991, at the Day on the Green festival in Oakland, CA, Mike Patton is clearly seen using a Shure SM58 microphone. This image serves as proof of his use of the Shure SM58 during this particular live performance.
