The ADK Frankfurt 49 T-FET Microphone provides the rich warm sound of a ribbon, with the detailed forwardness of a condenser. The ADK Frankfurt 49-T-FET features a soft top end, with rich forward mids, and big bottom - making it perfect for kick drum, drum room, clean electric guitars, bass guitars, higher pitched stringed instruments (like Mandolin, Banjo, Violin, etc), and vocals.
The ADK Frankfurt 49 T-FET Microphone is part of the ADK Custom Shop FET series, which are based on a unique FET circuit that saturates gradually (unlike most condenser microphones which tend to clip abruptly). The key to the tonality, is a Belgian-American-Australian-Designed Capsule, British Oxford Transformers, Hi-End Phillips Norelco Uber-FET. Manufactured with Hi-Fi Methods and Materials (including a $6 Resistor)! It took three microphone experts including a PhD in Physics, a Design Genius in Belgium and a 40 year-old Mic Locker to create them! Two-Way Attenuation Pads & Two Way HP Filter to enable end-user to tailor the dynamic behavior of the microphone and create new textures, with rarely the need for outboard processors or even EQ. The Frankfurt 49-T-FET is a tri-polar microphone with Cardioid, Figure-8, and Omni pickup patterns.

Elegant & Beautiful!
Dec 31st 2016I already owned the 251-T-FET and found it performed really well. I went to the other end of the spectrum with this 49-T-FET and wow, such a nice microphone! It's not as dark sounding as you may be lead to believe, there's plenty of high end and air, it's just a creamy high end - kind of like a great M7 capsule (though it sounds nothing like my Gefell). It has a well balanced tone that's classy and elegant. It seems I could use this mic on most anything! I am definitely filling the gap between this 49 and my 251 with the 47 and 67 models!
