Our Gear
At King Electric, we’re a little nuts for gear. Our mic collection spans some of the rarest and weirdest you’ll ever see. The control room is loaded with boutique and vintage preamps, compressors, equalizers, and effects, while the tracking rooms are filled with unique instruments and amps that all have a story to tell.
