Housed in Blackbird Studios, one of Nashville’s premier recording facilities, Korby Audio Technologies develops innovative, hand-built “boutique” microphones that combine the best aspects of classic capsule designs, with modern features and flexibility.

KAT System

The KAT System incorporates the world’s first hot-swappable microphone capsule design. Based on a matrix connection, this design allows the mic to accept both the Neumann-style center contact and the AKG-style floating diaphragm. Available with 251, C12, U67, U47, and C800 head assemblies, KAT System capsules can be removed and replaced without the use of tools. This allows for auditioning widest possible range of sounds, with zero downtime. Korby KAT System microphones can be further customized with graphics and textures.

KAT Blue, KAT Red and KAT FET

Korby also provides fixed-capsule microphones in both tube and solid state flavors. These mics have become extremely popular with top artists, producers and studio owners for their classic tones, hand-built craftsmanship, styling and value.
