WKSU and Folk Alley Executive Director Al Bartholet stated, "When we first developed our plans for Folk Alley's mobile recording studio, we put Audio-Technica microphones on the top of our wish list. Music and radio are industries that revolve around audio, and having the ability to use mics of Audio-Technica's outstanding quality makes it easier for us to do our job well."
Included in the studio's microphone arsenal are AE5400 Cardioid Condenser Handheld Microphones, AE5100 Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphones, PRO 35 Cardioid Condenser Clip-on Instrument Microphones and AT875R Line + Gradient Condenser Microphones.
Joe Gunderman, Folk Alley production coordinator and senior producer, stated, "I'm very enthusiastic about the AE5400s. We have in-studio guests, and in the past, we might normally have used a large-diaphragm with shock mount, but the AE5400 sounds just as great and is friendlier visually to put in front of our guests. We've used AE5400s also in the studio and at live events, for recent performances by some really great folk artists - Madison Violet, Solas, The Greencards, Ann Heaton and Natalia Zukerman from Winter Bloom, and lots more. Also, the AE5100s are great too - we use them in front of acoustic guitars, acoustic bass, bouzoukis, mandolins, and more, and they've always given us a real nice response."
