        ADK Z-47 offers that elusive warmth of the past that is flattering on male vocals (female vocalists often like, too.  Think Frank, Think Ella, Nat King Cole.  Introduced in 1949, U47’s had a high noise floor and VF-14 replacement tubes sell in the $1000's, yet it is still one of the most sought-after mics.  Like all Z-Mods exponentially better specs than it's homage mic. Our Golden-Ears picked a Sowter Transformer for the Z-47 to give it a creamy mid-range.

          The ADK Z-251 is one of the most flattering female vocal mics of all time (that male vocalists often like, too).

With all the 251 clones in todays market, this is the one that wins almost every shoot-out - even against vintage models!
          Our Golden-Ears all chose the American Jensen transformer to perfectly compliment our only 3 micron capsule.

            $2,597.00
            ADK Z-12 is a brilliant - yet smooth - vocal mic for vocalists needing to cut through a very loud mix.  The Z-12 is based on the legendary C12 mic which is incredibly rare due to the small number of originals made. Known for its brilliant top end and crystal clear sound, the Z-12 is a microphone of epic proportions making it the most detailed mic in the Z-mod line. For less than a tenth of the price of the classic, you can now have this brilliant sound in your studio and on your recordings. Our Golden-Ears chose a British Sowter Transformer for the Z-12.
