The ADK Z-Mod Tube Microphones are Class A (Discrete) 9 Polar-Pattern Tube (Valve) Condenser Microphones hand-built as “One-Offs” using a custom Belgium-Designed PC Board built with Hi-Fi methods and materials, using a “No-Corners-Cut” approach. Features Hand-Selected Valve, Top-of-the-Line Components (like a British Sowter Transformer) with ADK Designed Capsules from the Custom Shop “Capsule-Bank”.
The Z-Mod-12 is the Most “Mid-Boosted” of all ADK Z-Mod-Series Custom Valve Mics with an almost Effervescent High-End. The Z-12 and Z-251 are possibly the most historically accurate of the six mics. Z-12 has more 5kHz boost, the Z-251 has more air (15kHz boost).
