"The last Mic Mr. Charles ever fell in love with". Terry Howard, quoted in Electronic Musician.

"I have been using the ADK TT mic on the most recent sessions for the "Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp" at both Capitol Studios and East West Studios with a wide variety of vocal talent, from male rock screamers to powerful 4 8-octave range female singers. There was a remarkable consistency and predictability in the way the mic responded. I always knew that whatever I threw at it, I would get a satisfying result... The top end had a nice crispness to it without it ever sounding unnatural."
