"During the recording of Genius Loves Company, he started using an ADK Area 51 TT tube mic [see Fig. 1]. It was the last mic Ray fell in love with."

"'I've heard that Ray also used a Neumann M149 a lot for vocals.

'Yes, the new one they made.'"

"Typically, for vocals, we would use a Universal Audio LA-2A. We'd use the mic pre off the mixing board."

— Terry Howard on the recording of Genius Loves Company, for which he was a producer and engineer
