Shifting Into Higher Gear

At Mikron, we put our money where the music is. Come in and you’ll discover a remarkable collection of vintage guitars and amps, as well as a 1965 Hammond B3 organ with a Leslie speaker that we picked up from George Mitchell, who has toured with Diana Ross since 1980 and also backed Stevie Wonder. And our recording equipment, from a Midas M32 digital mixer to a big selection of microphones, is absolutely top shelf. Lavish we’re not—you won’t find a sauna and there’s no massage therapist on call. But we do have an exterminator next door who can meet all of your termite removal needs.

Gear List

Recording
Mikron uses three new UA Apollo x8ps for our interfaces. You can record up to 24 tracks at once.
