The R-122 is the world's first phantom powered, active ribbon™ microphone. This is the warmest sounding microphone in Sunrise Studios. It has a natural ability to smooth out harsh frequencies and is AMAZING on rock guitars and brass.
Nothing can sound strident or brittle through the R-122.

Best on: Toms

An AKG classic. Three of these microphones in hyper cardioid mode on the toms of a drum set yields some of the fattest, punchiest and articulate tom sounds you can achieve.

Best on: Vocals, Strings, Voice Overs

The AT4060 is a tube mic that sounds great on a wide range of voices and instruments. Featuring hand-selected, individually tested and aged tubes, vocals sound solid, natural and airy, while plucked stringed instruments come over with plenty of dynamics and life.

Since 1948 Schoeps microphones have benefited from innovative German engineering and an ongoing quest for transparency. The Schoeps CMC64 Stereo Set is a mainstay in the classical music recording world.

Best on: Strings, Piano, Woodwinds

Neutrality and transparency at it's finest, the DPA 4011 provides a 'being there' acoustic sound to die for, with a honest realism to the original sound.

Best on: Kick Drum, Bass Guitar

Superb "attack" and "punch". This microphone is specially designed for bass instruments. The Beta 52A is an excellent choice for kick drums as it accentuates the beater while also capturing the thump of the drum.

Best on: Floor Tom, Kick Drum, Bass Guitar

A solid choice for kick drums, heavy-footed drummers are safe with the D112´s ability to handle up to 160dB SPL without any distortion.

Best on: Voice Overs, Kick Drum, Bass Guitar

The broadcast standard for decades, the RE20 is an excellent microphone for ADR and also captures a huge low end sound for kick drums and bass guitar amps.

Best on: Snare Drums, Electric Guitars

By and large the workhorse of the recording industry, the SM57 is an industry standard for miking guitar amps and snare drums in studios and on stages everywhere.

Best on: Tom Toms
 
The frequency response and cardioid pick-up pattern of the E604 is optimized for drum sets and other percussion instrument miking. These tom mics really shine on rock drums,  however when a drummer with a light touch comes into Sunrise Studios, the AKG C414 TL-II's capture the performance perfectly.

Best on: Vocals

This is the microphone that Michael Jackson used on his "Thriller" album. Killer mic! Not ideal for delicate vocal performances though, that's where the C12 shines.
