Can anyone identify this mic and tell me why they have two mics positioned like this?
I have a potential client that wants to do some VO work. Simple enough. But I came across this YouTube video showing the VO actors from Zootopia 2 and I've never seen mics set up like this before. So it looks like they have two mics set up, one behind the other. Obviously the rear mic is a u87. But what is that first mic in front, the one that looks to be the primary mic? I've never seen it before, but since this is Disney spending hundreds of millions on this project, I'm betting it's really expensive. Next, why set up the mics like this? Can someone explain whats going on here? Is it just redundancy? Or is there another reason to do this? I want to know the audio engineering theory behind the positioning, ya know?
