Over the years, Ive relied on a bunch of Shure products, and they always give us fantastic sound quality, Pat shared. Their products are durable, well-made, and can endure a lot while were traveling. The KSM11 microphone does really well for enhancing TobyMacs voice. It brings out a clear and strong presence, resulting in a truly natural and enjoyable vocal performance. The KSM11 provides really nice lows and a smooth, crisp top end that adds to the overall quality.
Heath shared, Ive been working with TobyMac for about 15 years now. Currently, were using Axient Digital for vocals, horns, and guitars in our setup. For in-ear monitoring, weve chosen the PSM 1000s, and the AD600 helps monitor the entire spectrum. Axient Digitals broad tuning range is handy, because it lets us fit more channels into tight spaces using the entire spectrum available. Axient Digital is a big reason why many people in our line of work succeed: its flexible, covers a wide range, and lets us make the most of all the available frequencies. Everywhere you look in different equipment racks, youll find some kind of Shure product, whether its in-ear monitors, microphones, or the Axient Digital Wireless”
