Super Mario Bros Movie

Jack Black's vocals and musical performances for the movie were recorded with two microphones side-by-side: a Neumann U87 Ai ($3500) and a Roswell Mini K67x ($479).

(We're told the U87 Ai was requested by the studio, but did not sound good on its own, so the Mini K67x was added to capture a better sound.)
