"I've used AKG microphones in the studio since the start of my career through to present day, and I regard them as the absolute best in capturing my voice with natural tone and dynamics. I also use AKG wireless mic systems live, for the best in live sound and reliable technology. I'm very pleased to be part of the AKG family and I look forward to a long collaboration with them."

"AKG has a very natural sound. When I was first introduced to the brand in 2008, there was no doubt I had to use it. I had issues with other wireless systems and microphones not defining those fine lines between each part on my loops; there was a lack of powerful sound. I only use one channel and my wireless system needs to be able to support me so I can reach my full potential. The WMS 4500 gives me confidence in my performance’s sound."

“I’ve been doing vocals and acoustic guitar with it here at my studio and it’s fantastic! I also love this mic on our electric guitar too! It is so true, clear, and beefy at the same time... it just reproduces the sound coming out of the speaker so well, so crystal-clear and punchy. Truly a great addition to AKG's microphone line.“

"I've been using the C 214's regularly. I absolutely love them! I've used them for recording piano, voice and I find them especially great for jazz kick drum. It's been very difficult to find a microphone to represent that small and tight sound that a jazz kick has ... and the c 214 is absolutely the best mic i've ever used in that application. Piano, voice and guitar amp applications have been equally successful. They have become my "go to" microphone for almost everything and I keep them mounted on stands for regular use."
