Modern manufacturing keeps costs low, quality and consistency high
Thanks to low cost, good-sounding, mics it's now possible to make a real record at home. The problem is, many popular mics geared to the home studio market have the same bright, sizzly, sound and add a harsh quality to everything placed in front of them.
Our mics are designed to sound different. From balanced and unhyped, to thick and meaty, they actually provide a useful contrast to mics you probably already have.
KEL mics are conceived and developed in Winnipeg, Canada with production engineering and assembly done in China at two of the most modern microphone production facilities on the planet. Final inspection, testing and quality control is performed in Winnipeg, where an individual test recording is made with every mic to ensure operability and consistency.
KEL mics are affordable and consistent because high levels of automation and computer control are used in the manufacturing process. Some companies boast their mics are hand built, but no human can make a microphone body or PC board or machine a capsule backplate with the same consistency as a robot -- or for the same low cost.
We also market through a very small number of direct marketers as well as direct to you, the final customer. This further reduces administrative costs, and eliminates an entire level of margin from the price. You save, again.
In the end, life is about creating. Creating is about options and that is what KEL is all about. Our goal is to help you be more creative in the studio and have more fun. I think we've achieved our goal. Visit the rest of our site, order a mic risk-free and see if you agree!
