Miktek Audio is a microphone and pro audio manufacturer based in Nashville, Tennessee, founded in 2010 by audio industry veteran Michael Ketchell. Before launching Miktek, Ketchell developed MegaMix, an early MIDI-based mix automation system used on records by artists including The Spin Doctors and C+C Music Factory. The company positions itself as a maker of "step-up" microphones built around proprietary capsules with ultra-thin Mylar diaphragms, hand-selected components sourced from the US, Europe, and Asia, and final assembly done in-house at its Nashville factory.

The product line spans large- and small-diaphragm studio condensers such as the CV4 tube condenser, C7e, C5, C1, and MK300, alongside live vocal microphones (PM5, PM9, PM9T, T89), drum and percussion mics (PM10, PM11, PMD series, T100, T200, TDK5), and a tube microphone preamp, direct boxes, headphone amps, and small mixers. Miktek also offers personal broadcast bundles under the Mio and ProCast names and a pair of studio headphones (DH80, DH90).

Miktek's reputation in the recording community is built around classic-inspired designs aimed at project and professional studios looking for an alternative to entry-level imports, with each microphone shipped in a wooden presentation case. The brand is frequently discussed on community forums such as Gearspace and reviewed on sites like RecordingHacks alongside competitors such as Mojave and other boutique condenser makers.

Miktek has 19 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Condenser Microphones, Dynamic Microphones, and Preamps. Their gear is featured by 5 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Folk, World, & Country, and Electronic. Notable users include Kristin Hersh, Steve Hunter, and Savant.
