ADK TL first impression

[dudge]

I just got a pair of ADK TL's. I havn't had much time to try them out yet.
I did a quick comparo on drum overhead with a single TL, a GT-44, B1, and C4.

All I can say for a fist impression is I love this mic.

While the GT-44 thru my Sebatron is the nuts for taming some rock bashing cymbals, I think the TL thru the Langevin DVC is beautiful, full, articulate and dimensional for a jazz kit sound, in cardioid or especially omni.

Both the GT-44 and TL are fuller and bigger sounding than either the B1 or the C4. This is not just apparent in the low end (kick & toms), but also in the high end. The cymbals just sound thicker, smoother and fuller thru the TL and GT-44. The Gt-44 softens transients a little, the TL is more transparent.

I can't wait to try the TL on acoustic guitar.
My 2¢

ADK offers so many mics it's practically confusing. I became interested in them because of talks I had with Larry and JP of ADK. ADK's upper end products, the SL, TL, TC, A48, TT and CE are great products. I have an A48.

Little is said about them on this forum, perhaps because the mics mentioned are a bit more expensive and start to fall into the mid level. In any event, have fun with the TLs.

BTW, I've heard there's an ADK Hamburg II coming out shortly.
