USA - Audio-Technica provided a wide selection of microphones to capture every word from the candidates, moderators and selected crowd members at the 2012 presidential debates. The events were held 3 October at Colorado's University of Denver; 11 October (Vice Presidential) at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky; 16 October at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York; and 22 October at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida.

Larry Estrin, of Best Audio in Studio City, CA, serves as audio and production communications director for the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) and chose to use Audio-Technica microphones at these landmark events. Steve Savanyu, Audio-Technica's director, educational services, was also present at each debate for on-site support. Audio-Technica microphones have been chosen for the presidential debates since 1988.

Michael Abbott, A1 for the debates, stated, "The Audio-Technica microphones, which we've used on all the previous debates, performed flawlessly - which is exactly what you need them to do for an event of this magnitude of importance. Every word, every nuance has to be captured and captured accurately, and that's what the A-T mics did, at all of the debate locations. Dependability and accuracy - that's what A-T delivered."
