Stern's Mic

Just wonderin' as I watch the naked women on Stern's E show, what kind of mic does he use...Looks like it's a Neumann M149...???

Unfortunate Stern usually beats the crap out of the mic. His mic technique ranges from good to just freakin awful -- usually all within an hour.

...Not to mention there's enough audio processing on that mic to light up a 50-foot Christmas tree. Watch the racks next to him when he talks. Despite all that processing, it sounds like crap. Or at least it did when I last listened to him about a month ago. It's compressed, distorted, clipped, with a lot of muddy sounding low-end boost. JMO.

I almost cried when I saw that U87 being wasted in that manner. With all that processing crap after the U87, a Shure SM-58 would probably sound just as good, and stand up to Stern's fondling alot better. He could beat the '58 on the desk and it wouldn't care...

But then again, I guess an SM58 just wouldn't *LOOK* as cool on TV... Bleh. What a waste.

Sometimes less is more **hides**. Howard used to sound pretty fine working a trusty RE-20, still one of the great announce mics. But, little 'cool' factor.
 
Why not go all out. Maybe he should get an RCA 77 or 44?

Now that would really make me cry. Stern wouldn't know a DX or BX if it hit im in the face.

How about a muzzle? Yeah, they could modify a muzzle with one of those $1.99 electret elements from shadio rack. It would probably sound about the same, and, talk about "Shock Value"!!!

Did I mention I don't like Stern very much?!?!

Or they could plate the roof of his mouth with tin and mount up a few contact mics. Or does lead work too? I think he already has quite a few lead fillings in there...
