An Amazing Small-diaphragm Condenser Mic
Part of the company’s 3 Zigma modular system, the ADK SD-H TL pairs an HA-TL II head amp with an SD-H capsule module. The transformerless HA-TL II head amp offers transparent, straight-wire performance, along with super-low noise characteristics. Meanwhile, the hypercardioid small-diaphragm SD-H capsule module offers more directionally than its cardioid counterpart, along with a more pronounced proximity effect. The SD-H TL performs brilliantly on upright bass, as well as on fretted instruments, such as acoustic guitars and mandolins. This small-diaphragm condenser microphone boasts a straightforward signal path with zero superfluous circuitry to impart artifacts, coloration, or distortion. The SD-H TL includes a high-quality shockmount and a storage case. Engineers searching for a first-rate pencil condenser will appreciate the magic that the ADK SD-H TL brings to their recording sessions.

The ADK 3 Zigma modular system
ADK’s 3 Zigma series comprises two components: a capsule module and a head amp module. The swappable capsule modules reference a gamut of legendary microphones, enabling you to expand your mic locker with C12-, 251-, 47-, 67-, and 49-flavored models, among others. You also get a choice of two excellent head amp options. Choose the HA-TL ultra-low noise head amp for a microphone with incredibly low self-noise. For louder sound sources that require a mic that can handle high SPL, choose the HA-FX ultra-high SPL transformer coupled head amp. Of course, Sweetwater engineers recommend keeping one of each on hand to be prepared for any recording situation.
