Neumann U87

Condenser Microphones

In an interview with Sound On Sound, Phil Thornalley discusses his recording setup, mentioning the use of a Neumann U87 microphone. He states, "I also have a Neumann U87 in the lounge area next to the living room, which gives a very natural reverb. There's so much energy in that room that we often stick the U87 there when recording guitar, claps, or piano." Thornalley further emphasizes the microphone's importance by saying, "I've been in the studio for the last 32 years, and I can only judge a singer by how they sound when they get on the mic, which is always an 87!"

Shure SM58

Dynamic Microphones

I bought the Vox AC30 in 1978 from Macari's on Charing Cross Road. It's wired using one 12‑inch speaker in a separate soundproofed cabinet, with a Shure SM58 pointing straight at the cone. Impossible to get a thin sound from that amp. One of our API Lunchboxes sits on top because there's no space elsewhere.
