The ADK Z2-49 Tube Microphone gives a very warm and rich sound that emphasizes depth and punch. It's like having the fullness of a ribbon mic, with the detail of a condenser. The Z2-49 is a truly unique and lush sounding mic, great for vocals, acoustic stringed instruments, drums, bass guitar, and more.
The ADK Z2-49 Tube Microphone provides a roundness and warmth, without the slightest bit of harshness or sibilance. The ADK Z-49 is based on the classic M49 microphone which has been used on countless albums over the last 65 years. The ADK Z-49 provides a smooth top-end and emphasis of chest-tones. ADK's Golden-Ears has chosen the Lundahl transformer to pair with this capsule.
Lundahl Transformer
Lundahl transformers are known for their flat-frequency response. Nothing hyped here. The 67 and 49 were best when paired with the Lundahl. The Lundahl keeps the top smooth, and the mid-range perception increases. The lows stay well-behaved – not bloomy. But indeed not a boring choice of transformer! Lundahl is a true hi-fi transformer. But hey we get it, if the Lundahl is not right for you just let us know and we are happy to help you customize your Z2 to meet your needs.
