You don’t go dumpster diving for guitar strings. You don’t snag sax reeds from the barroom floor. You don’t polish your piano keys with toilet water. So why do you put your mouth up to a grubby club mic? Maybe you missed last week’s hardcore performance by Slobbering Sid. Or you weren’t in attendance Tuesday night for the breathtaking (and breathy) torch song renderings of Lipstick Lilly. The fact is, you have no idea where that mic’s been. Frankly, you don’t want to know. But—trust us—you don’t want your mouth anywhere near it. The solution, of course, is to get your own mic, and bring it with you. That way you can be sure you’re always working with clean equipment. Plus, since it’s a mic you selected and have worked with, you’ll know your vocals are being presented with all the power and clarity they deserve. Audio-Technica offers high-quality vocal mics to suit every need and budget. Get yours today and “share music, not microbes.”
