Mojave Audio and Royer Labs microphones used on Dream Theater’s ‘The Astonishing’

Mixer/engineer/producer Richard Chycki (Rush, Aerosmith, Skillet, Mick Jagger) served as the chief engineer on ‘The Astonishing’, the current studio album from American progressive metal band Dream Theater. He used Mojave Audio’s MA-1000, MA-301fet, and MA-101fet microphones along with R-121, R-122V, and SF-24V ribbon mics from Royer Labs.

 

“For the electric guitar, I used a combination of the Mojave MA-301fet and a Royer R-121 while miking a Mesa guitar cabinet outfitted with a single 12-inch transducer and another Mesa cabinet stocked with four 12-inch V30 speakers,” Chycki reports. “For this album, we exclusively used a prototype of John Petrucci’s JP-2C Signature Mesa Boogie head for all of John’s electric guitars. The Mojave MA-301fet was used mostly in its cardioid polar pattern setting with close miking.”

 

For miking the drums, Chycki used two Royer R-121s for overheads and a combination of the Royer SF-24V and R-122V for room/ambience miking. The Mojave MA-101 fet was used on the snare drum and also saw double duty for capturing acoustic guitars.
