The ADK S7 has been designed as a high-SPL, reliable and robust microphone with a "linear" response. It means that when you use the S7 you will get a life-like, detailed, transient rich sound. The dynamic range was set to allow for relatively heavy sound pressure levels, and the two-way pad enables this microphone to be used with sources up to 150 dB SPL. Keeping digital recording in mind, the noise floor is also appreciably low. The S7 is a solid, reliable "High-SPL" Studio Microphone that can also be used "Live".
Applications: Any moderate to high SPL source, whenever a fast, detailed recording desired: All "pop" and "Rock" vocals - with a pop filter (to protect the capsule from strong blasts of air)Brass - with a pop filter (to protect the capsule from strong blasts of air), Drum kit: Toms, Floor tom, overhead and spot mic'ing, including kick drum, Any amplified instruments - Guitar cabs, bass cabs, Any percussion instrument, Stereo/ambient recording, All stringed instrument, Solo/spot recording, Woodwinds.
