Low end ADK's?
« on: August 27, 2004, 11:59:33 AM »
I was listening to the 7/27/04 Dead taped w ADK TL's and fell in love w the mics.  Upon research I found that the TL's are about 5-8 hundred apiece.  Anybody use or familiar w the less xpensive ADK's?

With a little searching, you should be able to find the TL's for <$900/pair.  Well worth the $$, IMO.  Its been awhile since I've priced them, so please correct me if I've missed a price increase.

People have had good success with the ADK SC-T model, though I don't know how much it runs...

I use the ADK A51S LEs (Matched pairs), which are now the Hamburg (warm) and Vienna (pres).  The A51s are great mics, though they only come in cardioids...

I got mine for $350 off of EBAY (Andy's Music), but I've seen similar pairs on Yard Sale here for $300.

But yeah, the TLs are VERY nice sounding and well worht the loot...

They had better be made out of pure platinum and come with a complimentary "date" for that much money.

I paid $795 for a matched pair that came with 2 pairs of shock mounts (regular and super), 2 pairs of wind screens and the flight case...can't go wrong with these mics.

I got my TLs for 650 unmatched and haven't noticed any difference in them.
Matched or unmatched, they are great mics for the money

fwiw - I wouldn't pay the extra money for matching on the ADK's.. I think their QC is good enough
