“… it uses top-of-the-line Neumann U87 microphones.”
Neumann U 87 Ai Switchable Studio Microphone, 3 Directional – Nickel
$3,199.95
Kinda like people with EBT cards buying top of the line everything, why not, it’s not your money, you know you’ll get more next month and they don’t even expect you to work, all you gotta do is vote for the…right people.
Sorry, when I try to picture ‘smoring’, I see Brownie Scouts sacrificing marshmallows to a campfire.
When it’s not your money, you can buy the most expensive transmitters available. Then your listeners can hear you whispering into the microphone in low tones. Meanwhile the entire AM dial needs guys with higher pitched voices like Rush Limbaugh to be clearly heard.
