Well, this very short blog is just a little fun really.
I personally have just got hooked on the futuristic TV series ‘Battlestar Galactica’ (the new one, not the 70’s show) and was amazed to see that the microphone of choice for presidential board meeting in the future will be the retro style vocal mics. They may have been the Shure 55SH mics to be exact but I couldn’t quite make out a logo or model number. I am also pretty sure I saw a microphone that very much resembled the Electro Voice Raven retro style microphone also in another scene.
Now I know what you are thinking “how sad is this man to notice makes and models of Microphones when watching an entertainment program” – I must admit, I agree
