Marvin Gaye using Shure SM57

It can be seen on Marvin Gaye "what's going on what's happening brother" - YouTube.


The SM57? can be seen with its windshield.


It is interesting to see Marvin Gaye having the mic below his mouth.


Some experiments were done with a Shure Unidyne III and an impedance matching transformer with proximity compensation and Pleiades K117 pre preamplifier and it was clearly heard that the sound was much better with mouth above mic. Voice was more natural and gave a hint of euphoric diffusion. The same was not the case with Electrovoice RE16. The RE16 sounded better directly in front. Set up is described in the next euroelectron post.


Great live video, is this an Electrovoice microphone on percussion?
