Part of ADK’s 3 Zigma modular system, the 3 Zigma SD-C FX pairs an HA-FX II head amp with an SD-C capsule module. The transformer-loaded HA-FX II head amp adds subtle tonal coloration, and it tackles high-SPL applications without breaking a sweat. Meanwhile, the cardioid small-diaphragm SD-C capsule module delivers a neutral, ruler-flat frequency response, ample directionality, and a well-controlled proximity effect. Voiced somewhere between an 84-style mic and a CMC 6-style mic, the SD-C FX is rich yet balanced enough to flatter most sound sources without sounding too bright or too dark. This small-diaphragm condenser microphone boasts a highpass filter to help you gain control over your low end in close-miking scenarios. You also get a pad to accommodate extra-loud sources, such as drums and speaker cabs. The SD-C FX includes a high-quality shockmount and a storage case. Engineers searching for a first-rate pencil condenser will appreciate the magic that the ADK SD-C FX brings to their recording sessions.

The ADK 3 Zigma modular system

The are the condensers we have used more than any others, on acoustic instruments, choirs, orchestras, and much more! ADK’s 3 Zigma series comprises two components: a capsule module and a head amp module. The swappable capsule modules reference a gamut of legendary microphones, enabling you to expand your mic locker with C12-, 251-, 47-, 67-, and 49-flavored models, among others. You also get a choice of two excellent head amp options. Choose the HA-TL ultra-low noise head amp for a microphone with incredibly low self-noise. For louder sound sources that require a mic that can handle high SPL, choose the HA-FX ultra-high SPL transformer coupled head amp.
