Howard Stern mics.

I've always found it very amusing how the microphone selection seems to establish pecking order on the show.

Howard -> TLM103
Robyn -> SM7
Gordy(?) -> RE-20
Guests -> Sitting, a stick mic with foam windcover. Standing, random handheld dynamic, often Shure Beta 57. :confused:

The decision seem driven as much by appearance as sound. Also, I bet Howard wants to sound the most expensive. He has an inferiority complex. :p
 
What I don't understand is how do they not ruin their mics? I thought moisture (spit) was bad for condensers? I haven't seen any pop filters on that show.
 
I watched it last night and their were probably 3 RE20's set up for guest and Robin uses an SM7. Don't know what Howard was using.
 
In his last show Howard was using a Neumann U87...

I think It's pretty safe to say howard uses a differant mic depending on how he feels on that particular day. :D

you know your a musician when you look past the topless women to figure out what kind of microphones they are using.

That was funny!
 
I saw the red Neumann square on Stern's mic, but I just saw a still shot of Robin's and now I think it's not the Shure.
 
OK, I have to ask because I see this fairly frequently so there must be some method to the madness. Why do folks resurrect a thread like this that is 12 years old? How far back in the threads do you have to search to even find it? There must be a good reason as it seems to happen more than I would expect.

Because there are already "x" amount of people that have expressed interest in the thread, who will receive some kind of update that there's a new message. Also, the original post, and replies, didn't contain any dated material, so it's likely that there is still some amount of remaining interest in the topic. I just pulled all of that outta my ass, but it seems reasonable, right?

i think what keeps on h appening is the new feature under the thread that has search shows up w/ related word or something and people click on it but don't look at the date, i do it, it happens all the time.

Actually, if you just google "Howard Stern mic" this is the first link that pops up... Speaking of random mics that aren't RE20s, anyone know what this one is???s-l1600.jpgs-l1600 (1).jpgs-l1600 (2).jpg
