“For Maroon Five’s lead guitarist James Valentine, I used a Shure SM57 on a ‘Divided by 13’ cabinet and a Royer R-121 Live on the ‘Matchless’ cab. For Adam Levine, I used two Royer R-121 Live mics—one on his ‘clean’ cabinet and one on his ‘dirty’ cabinet. The Royers picked up the true guitar tone. The reliability of the Live Series mics was flawless, and this is no small thing considering the rigors of live concert touring.”
