vintage tonality with cutting-edge ultra-low-noise electronics. At a middle price-point!

Vienna II-Au Reviewer's Pick Award for Russ Long & Pro Audio Review Magazine.
 
Hamburg II-Au and Vienna II-Au  - first mics with capsules developed by the 3 Zigma Design-Team.
These Mics built in USA with British and European Electronics,  Unique "Slow-Saturation" Circuitry.
 
"Respective GK-67 and GK-12 Capsules Analogous to Vintage German and Austrian Condenser.
 
"The interest in this new Uber-Low-Noise Capsule has led us to the conclusion that we can
implement it in three fundamental channels.  The hope is to share a sweeter sonic signature!

"Our goal is to offer this capsule technology on a series of new super-low-noise head amps
in a Modular System called the CHI System.  And to offer these capsules within the platform
of the two Current ADK Valve MICROPHONES.  A Custom TC and Custom TT Mic may
be purchased from a few select dealers.  As part of the Level-Playing-Field concept, those
who already own a TC or TT can have this Capsule Technology Retro-Fitted to original mics.
I couldn't tell clients they had to buy a whole new microphone. All they need is a better 'engine'!"
Stated ADK and 3 Z Founder L.J. Villella.

Press Release - January 2004

ADK Custom Shop Begins R&D Seeking High-Definition Capsule Technology.
 
In opposition to over-paying for European Capsules, ADK Custom Shop USA
adds a PhD in Aeronautical Engineering to their Design Team to aid in the
effort to create a new series of high-end capsules; and then to build a factory
to be able to integrate this new technology over a wide spectrum of products.
 
CEO Larry Villella explains.

"It's like being a luthier and needing spruce to build your guitar.  If you go and
buy lumber, that's one thing.  If you own a forest, that's a whole different thing!
If the trees are on the north slope of the mountain, you harvest the best tone-wood!!
Everyone Agrees - the Capsule is the Soundboard of the Microphone. It's axiomatic.
 
ADK's goal is to build 'North-Slope Capsules'! And to integrate into worthy design-sets.
The Mandate to our Engineers is to Over-Build the Product to an Aerospace Standard."
