The ADK THOR Microphone provides three different voicings, similar to the flavor of a 67 (Mellow), 251 (Neutral), and C12 (Brilliant). Couple that with the three polar patterns (Cardioid, Omni, and Figure of Eight), and what you get is a Swiss-Army Knife microphone, that can handle anything you throw at it. It is like nine mics in one!
The ADK THOR has been designed as a high SPL, reliable and robust microphone with enough flexibility tone-wise to cover any application. The dynamic range was set to allow for relatively heavy sound pressure levels, and attenuation pads enable these microphones to be used with sources up to 150 dB SPL. Keeping digital recording in mind, the noise floor is also appreciably low.
The THOR works well for any moderate to high SPL source, whenever a fast, detailed recording is desired: All "pop" and "rock" vocals - with a pop filter (to protect the capsule from strong blasts of air). Brass - with a pop filter (to protect the capsule from strong blasts of air), Drum kit: Toms, Floor tom, overhead and spot mic-ing, including kick drum, Any amplified instruments - Guitar cabs, bass cabs, Any percussion instrument, Stereo/ambient recording, All stringed instrument, Solo/spot recording, Woodwinds.

excellent experiment
Jul 10th 2014i bought this microphone based on the fact that i have respect for another pro-gear outlet that highly praises ADK mics. i bought this mic especially because of the tri-polar pattern. that is what makes this mic particularly wonderful. i have over a dozen quality mics (Laswon L47MPII, AKG 414, Shure Sm7b, Sennheiser MD 421 II, Peluso R 14 Ribbon Microphone, Blue/Red Type B) so i wanted something special and this mic gives it. it records very well. with my voice/singing i tend to be very heavy and so not using any windscreen caused the mic to "shut down" for a mili-second. so i applied the same foam wrap around wind screen that i use for all my other mics and now this Thor is part of my regular arsenal. i particularly like the low end setting as it give my voice a very nice low end thickness. for $300 it was a good "bang for the buck". have not used the Thor for any live singing for i have another dozen mics for that as well.

Good Mic for the $$$
Jun 5th 2014I enjoyed using this mic, the different filter settings are pretty distinct which allows for a ton of versatility when combined with the multiple polar patterns. I used it on vocals, acoustic guitar and in front of a drum kit....it performed well in all frequency ranges and was exceptional at capturing and smoothing out bass frequencies. Spring for a decent shockmount, the ADK one was a little lacking. Great customer service, both from ADK and Front End Audio.
