ADK Hamburg II

Over the past decade, ADK has carved a niche in the mid-level studio microphone market.

These side-address, cardioid condensers share a number of design traits. Both are based on a FET circuit that's designed to saturate gradually and employ capsules created in Australia and transformers from the UK. A three-position pad is switchable between 0, -8 and -16 dB, enabling 134dB max SPL handling. A low-frequency roll-off can be switched between off, -3 dB at 100 Hz or -3 dB at 160 Hz.
