ADK mikes

I own the Hamburg & the Vienna. I think they sound great. They both sound smoothe as Silk through my Brick, not the least bit annoying, if you know what I mean. Both sound good on my voice & no eq has ever been necessary. They have a quality look & feel....looks do count & everyone who sees them is impressed. I bought them both on ebay from two different sources, new in the box for around $225.00 each, including shipping. I am quite satisfied with my purchase.

I have had a pair of upgraded A51 model V's for almost three years.They simply KILL on guitar amps.I use a set of SC1's as a stereo pair overheads in the studio and a single as overhead live on the kit...again..excellent.I'm currently auditioning vocal mics for the new album project and have had an ADK Area51 TT in for 10 days now an I'm quite impressed.I've also used a TC,a Model III(old stuff!), and have heard an A48 tube....All are very good and are a bargain for the money.They do not tend to display a hyped character throughout the frequency range as some Chinese capsuled mics do...They are almost a "dark' mic yet I find no lack of detail and clarity in them.This is true throughout the model ranges.Try em...

The Hamburg likes my big, bassier male voice a lot. Nice solid chest sound....not much proximity effect...or maby I should say that even when working VERY close the Hamburg still has all the presence & crispness in the sound. I liked it most of the two for my voice.
The Vienna is similar, but different.......a little sharper & more air on the top end. THis thing cuts through with no trouble at all & still doesn't sound harsh. Not quite as dark as the Hamburg, although, I wouldn't necessarily describe the Hamburg as a dark mic at all. They are not fizzy hissy sounding....I can see how this would be described as "almost dark".
Neither one of these mics sound the least bit harsh or overly silibant, yet retain IN YER FACE presence. I am extremely happy with both.
