Rick Smith's Studio Equipment
This article on the recording of the "Barking" album describes the band's then-current studio setup. "[Rick] Smith supplies microphone and preamp details: 'We used a Neumann TLM170 for Karl, quite an old one. In terms of a mic pre, Karl used an Apogee Mini Me at his home studio. In my studio, it was the Midas console preamp, or possibly a Focusrite ISA 430 MkII Producer Pack.'"

“We bought the 909 in 1984, the year it came out, and I’ve been using it ever since,” admits Smith. “It was the first drum machine I plugged in when we started playing live again in 1992. It’s not something we like doing, taking vintage instruments around with us, but the sound is so fantastic, particularly the kick drum. The sound of that over a PA is something else.”
