"I've been using Audio-Technica for years, because of the way A-T mics sound. I can't really imagine using anything else," Hughes says. "They sound great and have tremendous reliability. I can't remember the last time we actually changed a microphone because it was bad. That just doesn't happen, which is really pretty remarkable."
Hughes has selected a variety of A-T mics for the current tour, including the ATM350 Cardioid Condenser Clip-on Microphone for toms and overheads, AE2500 Dual-element Cardioid Instrument Microphone for guitar cabinets, wired and wireless versions of the AE5400 Cardioid Condenser Handheld Microphone for vocals, ATM650 Hypercardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone for snare and dual AT4050 Multi-pattern Condenser Microphones in a stereo configuration on guitar cabinets.
