NMD ADK Z-MOD 251 Good news Bad news
Good News
Well I finally got my new studio mic. For Vocals and instruments. It is new ADK Z-Mod 251 LDC tube mic. ( even though I still have not sold my Brauner Phantom V ) which I may now keep if does not sell pretty soon as it is also an outstanding FET LDC, which would nicely round out my mic locker, to two LDC's , one Tube one FET, and pair of AEA N-22 Ribbon mics. Bad News We are under contract to sell or place in Colorado where my attic studio was and our new place in Wyoming does not have a good room for a studio. So I will either have to convert the attached double car garage or build a dedicated small studio on the property. So no recording with the ADK for a good while . Here are some photos: Flight case for everything , Mic in wood box, excellent metal windscreen, power and mic cables , power supply, spare tube and shock mount ..

The Z Mod 251 get's GREAT reviews, congrats I love 251 style mics! It took me a while to get into a 251 style mic and when I finally did, I LOVED it on vocals (Lawson L251), especially when stacking harmonies.
I hope you get your new house and studio settled fast so you get to use it soon. Until then, you can find a the best sounding room in your new house and make do! |

I have had a chance to sing into a Lawson 47 (also very nice) but not the 251 capsule While probably not as well known to the general pro sumer public as the Classic Neumann 47 and 67 mics The history of the ELAM 251 mic is kind of interesting. A combined effort between Telefunken and AKG based on a modified version of AKG's C 12 another classic in its own right. Back story of the ELAM 251 here on Vintage King's website ... https://vintageking.com/telefunken-ela-m-250-251-microphone
