Nathan Menken, audio engineer and assistant technical director, has been using our RT1. BD2, and i2 mics in the past year for live performances at the university. We are proud to be part of the events. Nathan's needs and ideas for a new type of stage mic resulted in our soon to be released "KAM Atmosphere". Thanks Nathan.  

Richie Roccisano, the well respected and experienced   performer and audio engineer, has been diligently testing our mics and using them for recording his clients when it makes sense. We sincerely appreciate his attention. He has been a fan of KAM MC3 and is currently experimenting with Candy, our new phantom powered ribbon mic.

Tyson Ellert

Its not a secret that Tyson and Kamran used to play together. But now that Tyson is one of Chicago's most in-demand drummers, and is asked to perform on more albums and shows than he actually  has time to commit to, is it wrong to include him as an artist here? Tyson is using KAM R3, RT1, MC3, C3, i2, ST2, and BD2 for live performances and recording. He is also "test driving"  KAM Fidelio 6.5 monitors for mixing.
