When selecting microphones for the upcoming tour, monitor engineer Dan Horton for Justin Timberlake & Jay–Z reached out to MIKTEK after already being familiar with the Nashville based company. Dan first noted, “I personally have used MIKTEK in both the studio and live performances and their versatility and audio quality bang for your buck is absolutely amazing”.
“We chose MIKTEK for Tony Royster Jr.’s drum kit on the Legends Tour because it was important for the natural quality tone of his drums to come through,” said Dan. “The PM9, PM10, and PM11 gave us exactly what we were looking for, a studio quality sound in an ever changing non-studio quality environment.”
“When Dan reached out to us I was really excited. This was going to be one of the largest tours of the year,” said Mike Ketchell, MIKTEK Managing Director. Mike went on, “Dan tried out the MIKTEK dynamics (PM9, PMD4) and immediately added them to his collection. That is serious because Dan often supply’s his own gear, his name is on it at that point”.
The PMD Series dynamic drum microphone set includes 3 sets with 4, 5, or 7 pieces including the PM11 kick drum mic, PM10 snare/tom mics, and two C5 pencil condensers in the PMD7. Each microphone comes with individual lever lock rim mount tom clips and standard mic clips. They are packaged in a rugged aluminum carrying case and have a three year warranty. The MIKTEK PM9 is a super cardioid, dynamic microphone featuring a custom designed, neodymium capsule element and custom AMI transformer. The PM9 has a multistage windscreen, steel grill and die cast body with an ultra sleek, black finish with stainless steel appointments and packaged with protective case and mic clip.
