Hosted by the multi-platinum duo Brooks & Dunn, who took home top honours as Vocal Duo of the Year, the Annual CMA Awards presentation is recognized as Country Music's Biggest Night, and represents the pinnacle of achievement for anyone involved in country music. Audio-Technica microphones were featured for their accurate and reliable sound reproduction - characteristics that have dictated A-T's long-standing presence with country music artists and leading venues such as Nashville's Grand Ole Opry.
Audio-Technica endorsee, and winner of last year's CMA Entertainer of the Year, Kenny Chesney performed using Audio-Technica's Artist Elite 5000 Series UHF Wireless System. A wide array of Audio-Technica hard-wired mics were also employed for the show, including: the ATM25 on kick and toms; ATM35 on toms and strings; AE3000 on toms and overheads; AT4033, AT4050 and AT3035 on guitar cabinets and overheads; AE5400 vocals; AT3031 and AT4051 on hi-hat and ride cymbals.
