Awesome mic for the price. I highly recommend this as a condenser to start yourself off with. I had never heard of ADK until they were recommended to me by a guy at my local music store; the company is located about 15 miles from where I live. It was worth every penny.
Sound
Smooth, picks up low end nicely. Paired with a decent pre, it's a knock-out for the price. I've used it for vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and as a room mic and it's done well on all accounts
Features
Simple, no frills. Just set it on the shockmount and get to rockin'.
Ease of Use
Just plug it in and go.
Quality
It's a solid build, the only problem I've had with mine is the screen came loose, then eventually came off and I have to sort of MacGuyver on it there since I don't know how to go about fixing it. But otherwise it's pretty much bullet proof
Value
Definitely worth the price and then some. It was the first condenser I've bought and it's worked wonders for vocals and acoustic guitar. I've also used it as a room/ambiance mic and it's worked well for that too.

The Wow Factor
Aesthetically speaking, it's average. It's not ugly, but it's not the most beautiful piece of equipment ever created. But its simplicity and no-frills approach is what gives it its charm
