The Asia Beatbox Championship 2019 [ABC 2019] was held in Taipei and for the fourth time, Mipro microphones were selected as the official microphone for the event. More specifically, the Mipro MM-59B was selected as the microphone for ABC 2019.
This year ABC got entries from more than 25 countries. Through the elimination rounds, 70 contestants of 16 countries remained to compete in Taipei for the ultimate title. The international jury comprises the beatbox experts and champions from world beatbox tournaments, led by the Tag Team World Champion BMG from France, 2016 Beatbox Battle World Champion Berywam from France and 2018 Beatbox Battle World Champion Alexinho from France.
Before this event, the organiser Mic Lee and Double from Nerdyboy had been working with Mipro to study how to adjust the sound curve to fit beatbox. Mic Lee said” “I am honoured to be able to work on this with Mipro’s R&D team. In particular, Mipro is in Taiwan and now engages in designing microphone capsules and manufactures the capsules in house, so we may have close contact to test [the products]. I am very grateful to K. C. Chang, the CEO of Mipro, for his support. We are looking forward to creating a new generation of beatbox microphone.”
The German Beatbox Championship, held in Berlin, Germany, also selected the Mipro MM-59B as the official microphones for the event.
