FS: Modded/Upgraded ADK SC-1

For sale one (possibly both) of these mics. I recently bought a bunch of upgraded/modified microphones from a dude who goes by the handle of "digitaldrummer" largely because the words "upgraded/modified microphones" to me are like the words "Free Crack Giveaway" to a crackhead.
Among them were a pair of MCA SP-1's and a set of an ADK A-51 Type V Large Diaphragm Condenser (SOLD) and ADK SC-1 Small Diaphragm Condenser. All have had their cheap, stock electrolytic capacitors replaced with much nicer Panasonic Polypropelene ones.
I really don't need all of them especially with the tons of other mics I have. I'm probably going to either keep the MCA's or give them as Christmas presents.

Here's some ADK info on the SC-1 SDC:
Applications: For Overheads, Acoustic Instruments such as Guitar, Piano, etc. Use an A-51 on the Sound Hole and A-51SC on the 12th Fret on Acoustic Guitar for a great Stereo Acoustic Guitar and get great clarity and also very good sonic detail This microphone loves fretted instruments: flattering on most stringed instruments.

TYPE: True condenser small capsule wide cardioid mic.
POLAR PATTERN: Fixed Cardioid
SENSITIVITY: 10mV/Pa -40dBV (0dB=1v/Pa)
FREQUENCY RANGE: 20 to 20k Hz
IMPEDANCE: <200 Ohms

MAX. SPL for 1% THD @1000Hz: 124dB

Thanks!

bump and price reduction-- $55 shipped to the US for the modded SC-1
 
danny,
i bought it modded, so i can't give you an honest take on how it sounds compared to the original. the modding reportedly cleans up the top and bottom end (ymmv), but that's what i've read/been told. i'd be hesitant to make a comparison with the clip you posted because of all of the other factors that go into the sound.
