Mike Clink
Producer/Engineer Mike Clink (Guns N’ Roses, Sammy
Hagar, Pushmonkey) also comes from the Record Plant
school of recording. “I find that I actually use 1176s more
now than I ever did,” he comments. “I like them because
they bring out the brightness and presence of a sound -
they give it an energy. It seems like when I’m mixing I end
up using an 1176 on the vocals every time. And if I want
to compress a room sound I’ll take a mono room mic, put
an 1176 across it and push in all the buttons.”
Bruce Swedien
Bruce Swedien is a master engineer who needs no introduction. He also is a die-hard
1176 fan. “I have two silverface 1176LNs in my rack that Bill Putnam personally picked
out for me,” he says. “I remember sitting at Bill’s place in the Channel Islands, and
talking about the 1176 and how I wanted a pair. The next time we went over he’d picked
this pair out and they were sitting in his garage waiting for me. I love them on vocals.
All of the Michael Jackson and James Ingram vocals that everyone has heard so much
were done with at least one of those 1176s. I couldn’t part with them for anything. They
sound fabulous.”
