Anyone seen these? Anyone know the differences? JP? :)

Oh what's the difference between Model "S" and "LE" too?

I have a set of LEs. As far as I know, it is a slight mod on the regular ADK A51s mics. It is a matched pair (matched by B&K), has bass roll off and -10 db pad.
The A51s is their standard studio mic methinks...
The Hambrg and Vienna I think are variations of the A51s. They feature slightly different electronics.
I have no idea of the actual technical differences...
I did see the the TL series is offered in a TL matched pair set... Nice!
Look for JP Geraud, he's a ADK guru...

Yeah, I'm wondering how each mod effects the sound.

OK. Here goes...
The A51s is a switchable version of the A51. The A51sLE is a B&K matched pair of A51S.
The V and H have my upgraded circuits.
The V uses a classic edge-connected diaphragm (Austria), the H uses a classic center electrode (Germany).
The H has a built-in smooth HF attenuation that coupled with the capsule's mid range peak, gives a midrange-rich response without top end harshness. The V is more linear throughout with a smoother midrange but hotter high-mids and more defined top end. Low end responses are about the same, V being a notch more subtle.
V and H have 20 mV/Pa sensitivity and an 18 dBs pad for guitar amps and drumkit micing.
