Allen & Heath has made further ProFactory Mic presets available for Audio-Technica Microphones, following collaboration with microphone manufacturers Shure and Sennheiser, to provide channel library presets for its Qu Series compact digital mixers.
ProFactory Mic presets offer engineers of all abilities an optimum starting point to achieve the best possible sound from the instrument, microphone and mixer combination, in record time and across a large range of popular and industry standard mics. New presets for Audio-Technica include MB, ATM and Pro series microphones, to add to the evolution e600, e800 and e900 series from Sennheiser, and PGA, SM and Beta series from Shure.
The team at Allen & Heath worked closely with the engineers at each manufacturer to ensure that the optimal settings were applied for each mic paired with Qu’s AnalogiQ Preamps.
‘Building a specific library of equalisation presets for Audio-Technica microphones on the Qu series has not only enabled us to ensure that the user can begin their work with a confident and solid foundation, but also has provided the opportunity to bring to the forefront the nuance and subtleties that make this selection of Audio-Technica microphones so rewarding to use in the creative process,’ says Keisuke Kobayashi, CMO/CTO at Audio-Technica.
‘We appreciate the opportunity to implement presets for Shure microphones directly into the Qu consoles,’ says Shure Category Director for Wired Products, Matt Engstrom. ‘The combination of the powerful Qu mixers and Shure mic presets gives users an easy way to get their set-up dialled in and quickly sounding great.’
‘The Qu Series presets help users jump-start their mixes with our microphones,’ says Tom Vollmers, product manager for Sennheiser Live Performance & Music Product Manager. ‘These dedicated EQ presets cover a wide range of instrument/microphone combinations, providing engineers with a solid foundation to achieve great sounding results in less time.’
The presets are available now, and can be downloaded from the Qu series product pages on the A&H website.
