ADK Z² 67 is a versatile microphone that will work on almost any source you put in front of it. Based on the rare M-269 Broadcast Version of a U67, this is a mic prized by discriminating musicians and engineers since 1960. Z² 67 covers the broadest range of singers and source material. Our golden-eared experts chose the Swedish Lundahl transformer to create an extra mid-range required to push the vocal slightly forward in a modern mix. Jazz and R&B, even Opera Singers love the Z² 67
ADK'S TOP-OF-THE-LINE CUSTOM MICROPHONE. AMERICAN-BUILT ADK Z² CUSTOM MICS.
The ADK Z² tube microphones are Class A (Discrete) 9 Polar-Pattern Tube (Valve) condenser microphones hand-built as "one-offs" using a custom Belgium-designed PC Board built with Hi-Fi methods and materials, using a "no-corners-cut" approach. Each microphone features a hand-selected valve and top-of-the-line components (like a British Sowter Transformer) with ADK-designed capsules from the Custom Shop "Capsule-Bank."
Founded on Ray Charles's Favorite ADK's Area 51 TT chassis, this is a customized product that can be custom-built "one-off" for each client based on one's preference for historical, vintage curves, and microphone response characteristics. So, we can do that if you want a specific tone color for your capsule choice!
ADK Custom Shop Z² 67:
The Z² 67 has the early 60's vibe. Almost imperceptibly mellow. Scoops nasal and sibilance issues in a subtle way. More presence than the Z² 47 and a bit more air than the Z² 47. However, the tailored top-end makes it smoother than the Z² 12 or Z² 251 designs—very Beatle-esque.
