- Country music artist Luke Bryan used Aviom microphone preamps, the model 6416m, on tour beginning early 2010. The Aviom preamps took the place of Yamaha M7CL preamps, using expansion card slots. Band engineer Chris "Sully" Sullivan reported that band members who were previously unsatisfied with the M7CL preamps expressed happiness with the Aviom sound.{{cite web |url=http://www.studioauditions.com/industrynewsdetail.php?WritingID=1462 |title=Aviom Pro64 on Tour with Luke Bryan |publisher=StudioAuditions.com |date=April 5, 2010 |accessdate=March 26, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111002170215/http://www.studioauditions.com/industrynewsdetail.php?WritingID=1462 |archive-date=October 2, 2011 |url-status=dead }}
