ADK mics
« on: September 13, 2003, 02:36:42 PM »
I know there are a few people that have some experience with these mics but I'm wondering how much the sound varies from different models.

Seems most run the TL's .   How do the straight up 51 sound?  51-s ?  

Basically I'm wondering if for about $200 a pair if 51s would sound decent ?


While I'm at it...anyone ever play with the Behringer B-2 or B-2 Pro??    Any comments on those?

low end on the SLE's (plewase specify which 51 you are talking about since almost all their mics are the 51!!!!)  is very smooth. I've really liked the results I've had with my v2 behind them.  I also own 480's and often find myself in a dilemma of which mics to run...it usually comes down to flipping a coin (unless the use of hypers is essential).   Bean--almost done with the garage a trois from rosebud fix....that was the SLE's (although not their most stellar performance).   I'll let you know.

I got some great prices from sonic sense on the 51, 51s, and the new S-series.  Now I guess I gotta decide how much I can afford, if I want to go LD, and if I want to leave team NAK. :P

I'd be running an ad-20 with some kinda phantom power box (ART II most likely).   Is there a huge difference in sound between the 51s and the 51sle?


I wish there was an easy way for me to test drive gear.
