Philip Perkins Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 And what looks like a pair of ADATs, as well as a Focusrite RED mic pre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Render Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Looks like: Focusrite Red 3 Dual Compressor Songbird FS-1 Cyclosonic Quad Panner Eventide DSP4000 Ultra-Harmonizer 2 x Alesis ADAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted February 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 There was also a Rodecaster (also a DA-40, etc) at the end of the first episode of WandaVision. Lots of people noticed: Fewer noticed the RF Explorer in a later episode. But I cracked up. As did someone else who grabbed a screenshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Rowand Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I'm watching a series called Counterpart and in one scene they were using a number of field recorders as props; I saw an older Cantar, what looked like a Tascam DR-70, and a couple others. One of my favorites was in an episode of Law and Order where a 911 operator was adjusting the call quality on a Furman… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonG Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I seem to recall the use of a Sennheiser plug transmitter as a prop on the Hannibal Lecter movie a number of years back. Cracked me up when I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunAndGun Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I remember in Die Hard 2 the camera guy on the plane pulled out his fixed freq. wireless receiver(don't remember what it may have been) and it just so happened to be able to tune in and listen to ATC.

Mungo Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Almost always seen in interrogation room scenes over here: Schoeps, Neumann KM or MHK40 on the table. No police dept would spend so much money on a simple interrogation recording system 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reineke Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 I always get chuckle when period movies have prop microphones the did not exist. For instance I have seen more that than one 1950s period movies with SM 57s 58, RE50 and 635a podium mics that did not exist until the mid to late 1960s.

I recently saw a clip of Lenny and The Squigtones from Laverne and Shirley. They were using 1968 635a mics in 1958. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted February 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Lenny and The Squigtones! That's the second time this week that band has come up in conversation. I agree with you Michael: They were ahead of their time, and not just in mic choice. 😉 In highschool I bought their live album...to make fun of it. But despite the intentionally goofy songs, the playing was pretty good. Here they are on American Bandstand playing a couple tunes. But the big win/reveal starts at 3:30, where between songs, they introduce the band. I think it was that guitarist's first public appearance.

JonG Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 While on this subject, I think there’s a pretty big elephant in the room. Imagine the logistics of how to pull this off: You are flying a helicopter during the Vietnam war. You have a huge clunky reel to reel player, in your helicopter, and you’re blasting Wagner from miles away as you’re flying towards the enemy on the ground to scare them. Your reel to reel is just sitting on the floor of your chopper, not secured in, and somehow manages to stay put while you’re swooping around in the air. And you also happened to be equipped with the most powerful PA system in the world because anyone able to hear the music at all, let alone clear enough to distinguish what it is, has to hear it over the sound of your fleet of helicopters from off in the distance, before the helicopters themselves are even audible. I feel like you’d need the Grateful Dead’s wall of sound to pull that stunt off! Talk about suspension of disbelief! You’ll never watch Apocalypse Now the same way again!

There were helicopters that played music as psychological warfare in Vietnam... See this topic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Render Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Not strictly recording gear, but apparently all you need to communicate with alien entities is a Pittsburgh Modular rack synth and Audio-Technica headphones. At least he has the "Lifeforms" module. From the new film Doors (2021) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12483708/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfo1 modulation output going to pitch change of vco1, lfo2 output going to rate of lfo1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when you needed an ARP 2500, a tie, and a VP of engineering to communicate with aliens? Soon there will be a smartphone app for that...

Jim Feeley Posted July 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Jonas Vingeggard wearing a Tentacle Track E (I think) during the awards ceremony for Stage 18 of the Tour de France.

Allen Rowand Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) In the Netflix movie Gray Man, Ryan Gosling's character has an Ambisonic mic attached to his rifle for… reasons. Like listening to a conversation through two glass floors in a hotel. Edited July 26, 2022 by Allen Rowand Grabbed a screencap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Steel Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 Marvel's Agents of Shield have a Behringer something or other, presumably taking readings on the Kree monolith. The logo isn't visible in the linked still, but in the episode the camera pans across and the distinctive triangle logo is clearly visible on the top piece of equipment in the rack. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/6/69/Fitz_Gun.png/revision/latest?cb=20151001231247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Render Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 I was watching the 1985 TV series The Equalizer when I saw this Nagra SN being used to record Uzi gunfire? Sure, why not. Does anybody know what mic this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
