STOW, OH – Country artist Clay Walker is now endorsing Audio-Technica microphones, specifically the 5000 Series Wireless System with a handheld T5400 microphone, with his backup singers using A-T's Artist Elite AE4100 wired dynamic microphones.
"Clay is a very dynamic singer, and he needs a microphone that he feels he can control easily, that makes the best use of his vocal dynamics," said Curt Walsh, bassist for Walker for the past 15 years. "The Audio-Technica microphone gives Clay exactly that – total control. And I know our FOH mixer likes it because of its great sound and total reliability on stage.
"Clay needs to hit certain frequencies clearly, especially high-frequency transients, up around 9-12 kHz, where it has to be really airy and transparent sounding," continued Walsh. "Whispered words need to get across clearly, and not sound harsh in the 2.5 kHz band. Some microphones seem to be a little active in certain frequency ranges, especially in the 800 Hz range, but the A-T 5000 Series is flat across the spectrum. And between Clay's T5400 and the AE4100s that our backup singers are using, it's easy to achieve a great blend. Switching to the A-T microphones gave us a significant improvement over what we had been using before. It was a great move."
