| | ADK A-51TC, October 2001 |
 | | ADK made waves a few years ago with the debut of its A-51 (Area 51) Series of affordable—around $400—large-diaphragm FET condenser mics. |
 | | Following on that success, ADK introduced a series of tube condensers, including the model A-51TC reviewed here, and the flagship Area 51TT. |
 | | Overall, the ADK A-51TC has a large and likable sound, and the coloration it does impart was a good match for a variety of sources, especially those with complex harmonics and overtones. |
