This is a very nerdy, technical question, but does anyone know what brand MJ's wireless mic was?

I ask because even the higher end wireless mics I see around are considerably larger.
Even in Dangerous and HIstory tours, the mic was considerably bigger.

His looked like one of the smaller, corded mics (which is easy to find) but it was wireless. Maybe it was simply an XLR mic with a small wireless transmitter attached to the bottom (?)
Even so, I can't find a transmitter that small.

Just curious if anyone knows :)
I have a GTD Audio wireless mic set for fun/karaoke/etc. but I'd love something small and wireless like his :D
In any case, I'm sure it's very expensive.
 
Actually the mic on DWT and HWT are a lot larger. - That's a little weird!?
 
MJJLatvia - Holy mother of God! Where'd you get that picture from? The resolution is great. Any more you can share with us?
 
Thanks for the pic! And it appears to be the same as the silver mic, but black.

I couldn't find one that looked like THAT, but currently Sony has pro-audio mics and the wireless transmitter ALONE is around $1900, and the mic head/capsule is around $900.
I knew pro wireless mics were expensive, but wow.

Yes I found this website with Sony Pro Audio with some wireless mics. There is a couple that looks similar.

I've looked thru the pics I've collected and check for the mics, I found some that he uses a black mic.
 
Brand of Mic, Sony I believe, well atleast for the Black Mic

Black mic - both first Wembley nights. That would be slightly misleading cuz 2nd night as ive been told has both color mics.

I don't want to deny what you wrote, but if MJJLatvia has the info straight from the dudes that attended those shows then I think it's completely nonsense to argue with him :)
 
^ July 14 fully black mic.
July 15 1st half of show black mic, 2nd half silver mic (btw the Bad video from Wembley - Vanguard Awards video is from July 15)
July 16 silver mic.

But again, I'm not getting into discussion. Take it or leave it. Believe it or not. I, however, firmly believe I am right. But don't take it personal, if you think you wrote correct info, so be it.

It is not discussed is simply providing information. :)
 
^ I suppose you know that pictures are VERY often mislabeled?
I find wrong named pictures often in my folder. I had one pic named Roundheipark. That is in Leeds, but in same pictures description it was July 15. WTF right?
