Does anyone know what Mic/s Michael Jackson uses in the Studio?
Esp Vocals.
Would anyone know what wireless system he uses on stage live esp: Headset Mic?
Or could you refer me to a place or someone who might know?

Everyone talks about Thriller as being recorded on a Shure SM7.
Don't know about the other albums though or the live stuff.

You might ask Bruce Swedien at harmony central where he's a regular and very helpful guy. But I know he mentioned the SM7.

Bruce is the engineer who recorded 'Thriller' , the best sold album ever.

Back to the post, I did a search and found the SM-7 is rumored to be his mic. of choice in the thriller years.
