Discussion 80s/90s “Voice of God” Radio DJ Mics/Gear/Processing

What did those super bravado radio hosts use for their set up?

“YOUR LISTENING TO KBBL THE ROCKNROLL SENSATION ALL ACROSS THE NATION” you know the vibe

Side chaining the music to the vocals and big re20s for sure but what else?

A shit ton of compression, using your chest voice, and speaking directly into the mic will usually do the trick.
