Topic: ADK mics

[sexymexi]

anyone have any comments on the sound of the SC-1?

don't buy any adk....they are releasing the "vienna" ,"hamburg" and a new line of SD mics designed by jp gerard of No hype studio/audio Belgium.
i would wait.

Interesting  Be cool to see what they come out with in the small diaphram department.. I have the SC-T's and really love'em...  though having interchangable caps would be fun for experimenting.  Not a huge deal as I'm sure I'd run cards 90% of the time anyways...

I've run the A51s LE  > V2  >  AD1k. They sound great. I now run the TL's > V3 , but ran TL > V2 > AD1k until recently. I think the TL's are the way to go they are a little cleaner (card vs. card), but you wouldn't know unless you had a direct comp. The TL's were also designed for live taping. I think the LE's can get a little boomy, but not to bad. They are both fine mics, even compared to the AKGs.

I have the TL's now. Before I had them I got a pair of generis(adk) gc-1. I think these are pretty much the same as the a51. They sound great for the price. I can send a tape if needed

The TL's are the way to go. I have seriously thought about getting a set of LD Neumanns, but can't bring myself to drop the severe extra amount of cash when the ADK TL's give me all I could ask for. Extremely transparent when run with a V2. Add a Mini Me behind that, and like Moke said, like hot butter. My TL > V2 > MMe stage tapes are simply amazing. Section tapes from Phish and Panic are some of the best I've heard. I had the SC-T small diaphragm mics for a while before selling them, just because I was not using them. They sound good, but the TL's are simply fantastic to my ears, and it is a crime that they are charging so little for these mics now. When I bought mine, I paid roughly 1k. Now they can be had for an extremely lower price, which sickens me . If you have the time, seek out some TL tapes, and judge for yourself. If you want a smooth, all encompasing transparent sound, the TL's are the way to go in my book. I love them, and not just because I own them, but because they are that good.
