OH, November 2, 2009 — Audio-Technica,
a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 45 years, is
proud to be an integral part of the stage setup of rockers Daughtry,
led by frontman Chris Daughtry. The group’s 2006 self-titled
RCA debut was the fastest selling debut rock album in Soundscan history,
and their 2009 follow-up Leave This Town debuted at #1 on the Billboard
200 in its first week in the U.S., scoring Daughtry two consecutive
#1 albums. The band’s muscular mix of modern rock, hard rock,
alternative and post-grunge has been delighting their millions of
fans on concert stages around the world.
Daughtry’s
Audio-Technica microphone list is extensive. Chris Daughtry uses Audio-Technica’s
acclaimed Artist
Elite® 5000 Series UHF Wireless System with the AE6100
Hypercardioid Dynamic Handheld Microphone and AEW-T6100
Transmitter for his lead vocals. The band also uses a wide array of
A-T wired mics, including dual ATM650

Front-of-House
(FOH) engineer Morgan Russell, best known for his work with Kittie,
Shadows Fall, Hawthorne Heights and Damage Plan, states, “When
you have a world-class performer on stage, a world class mic is the
only thing that will do. I consider the AE6100 the best vocal mic
on the market.” Chris Daughtry echoes Russell’s sentiment:
“This microphone is always reliable and provides great clarity!”
The next leg
of Daughtry’s North American tour will continue to crisscross
the continent through the end of the year. Please visit www.daughtryofficial.com
