Dave ‘Roz Rosner with AKG C 12 VR in the Brill Building's Studio B
USA - New York City's landmark Brill Building, KMA Music continues to book a range of VIP artists to record chart-topping hits, with the help of AKG microphones. From vocals to instrumentation, AKG has been a go-to microphone in KMA's Studios A and B for numerous performers since opening its doors in 2007.

Utilising AKG's C 12 VR Tube microphone and a set of C 414's, Studio Manager Dave 'Roz' Rosner offers his clients, including Jordan Sparks, Jay Sean, Jay-Z, Neil Diamond, Paul Simon, Lil Wayne, Beyonce and many others, a selection of the most widely requested microphones in the industry at a moment's notice

"Each artist has their own personal taste, but a large portion of our clientele are very loyal and will request the C 12 for their sessions," he said. "The C 12 is a great microphone and really gives a 'whomp' to any artists' vocals." The C 12 is also used in recording bass drums, hi-hats and piano in the studio.

KMA also utilizes the Lexicon 960 Digital Effects System and the PCM81 Live Sound Multi-Effects Processor during mixing. Assistant Studio Manager James Spano explains that KMA has demoed multiple Lexicon plugins with artists and is currently researching a permanent Lexicon plugin system for the mixing rooms.
