OT: nice example of clean concert audio/video

I've been working on improving simple but clean audio and video in the concerts I do, and I came across a very nice example below. I'd love to know what mic he's using. It doesn't show in this forum in HD, but if you're interested in seeing directly on YouTube, it's very good quality:

His Wikipedia bio says he produces his own stuff. I looked for an interview and found this one in which he said:

I have always tended to use rather lower end gear for recording (in terms of price, not quality), not because I don't want to use nicer things, rather, I haven't been able to afford anything but that type of fair! That being said, I couldn't be more pleased with how well the stuff worked. I used an AKG Perception 200 microphone for all of "Ghosts". Ran it through a Lexicon Omega unit, which came with a free light version of the Cubase software. I recorded everything on an HP PC, which was definitely not meant to hold audio files!

That is not an AKG perception 200 microphone in the You Tube video however.

Why don't you go to his My Space Page and ask him directly.
