The Hamburg large diaphragm FET condenser microphone offers a warm sound, with extended bass and smooth top end. The polar pattern is cardioid. The midrange response is reminicent of the old German classics, making it a natural for lead vocals and solo instruments that must keep their original balance in the mix. High sensitivity and low noise ensure good compatibility with digital systems. A high-pass filter and pad are provided for added flexibility. Latest version, with low noise upgrade. Comes with a shockmount and vinyl pouch in a small flightcase.
What other people say about the Hamburg:
Tony Martin, Shandaliza Productions LA, (Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye, Three Dog Night, The Four Seasons, Harry Nilsson) Tonyâs New CD "Close Your Eyes and Think of England" Tracked 100% with ADK Mics....
....âHow you ever managed to arrive at a formula offering low noise, discrete FET electronics, 1" gold sputtered diaphragm capsules that deliver 20Hz to 20k with such delicious response at such an affordable price, is a dark mystery to me. . . .
The top end is so beautifully defined, that once you find the sweet spot, you can track with 'em practically flat. A warm tube pre, a little light tube compression with something akin to an LA 2, and I defy anyone to tell me the ADK doesn't sound like a five or six thousand dollar tube condenser.â....
Dale Sticha - Recording & Live Sound Engineer / Piano Tech for Sir Elton John
"I have had the opportunity to use a variety of ADK Microphones in a wide range of applications. The sound is huge and wide open when tracking vocals. The clarity and detail is incredible! The accurate and transparent sound reproduction, especially on the acoustic grand piano, is nothing short of amazing! You really owe it to yourself to give ADK Microphones a serious listen."

APPLICATIONS
The Hamburg Edition was the product of a year-long R&D and Beta â done in a âtag-teamâ approach. If microphones are the paintbrush in the art of audio, then one begins to ask: what color / what texture? Our research has concluded that there is a parallel between music, language, and handcrafted musical instruments. If we compare the Steinway to the Bosendorfer, Beethoven to Mozart, a Vintage U-47 to an Original C-12, there is color gradation â we call it the Road from Hamburg to Vienna!!!
The Application for the Hamburg would be when you want that certain âSmoothnessâ, Historically the Vintage German Tone.
