Announcing ADK Microphone & David Bock Z² Microphone Collaboration.
Z² is a Hand-Crafted in USA Multi-Pattern • Class A Valve/Tube Condenser Mic that is Custom
• Individually built for Each and Every Client
David (design genius behind David Bock Audio and Soundelux Microphones) has now redesigned the latest flagship Z²-Mod, the Z²(Squared series) of six tube mics that - rather than clones of classic mics, takes the vintage tone-profile and re-imagines it with exponentially better specifications, and re-purposed for the modern recording studio.
The new Z² version Z-Mod is a modified version of the original Z-Mod. Instead of off-shore metal work, the Z² is completely manufactured in the USA with American metal. Instead of an imported PCB that's populated in USA, it's an American PCB. Electronic and mechanical improvements have been made to the Z-Mod, and an Electro-Mod for original Z-Mod owners is available for low or no cost.
Vintage Mics come in a Range of Tone Colors, from Mellow to Brilliant. ADK has Re-Imagined these Signature Tone-Profiles, with Upgraded Performance and Exponentially better specifications. Beyond the plethora of clones, Z² charts new territory. Overbuilt to the Max!

ADK Custom Z-12 is a Magic Mic!
I used it to track Kylie Minogue "Golden". I love the way the Custom Z-12 carves her voice… .

ADK has done a great job of capturing the feel and sonics of the 251 family of microphones in the opulent air and solid tone of the Z-251.
