ADK S7

The ADK S-7 has been designed as a high-SPL, reliable and robust microphone with a “linear” response. It means that when you use the S-7 you will get a life-like, detailed, transient rich sound. The dynamic range was set to allow for relatively heavy sound pressure levels, and the two-way pad enables this microphone to be used with sources up to 150 dB SPL. Keeping digital recording in mind, the noise floor is also appreciably low. The S-7 is a solid, reliable “High-SPL” Studio Microphone that can also be used “Live”.

Applications
