Hamburg Review /

A popular answer to the question
“what’s a good mic in the $300 range” has been the ADK
Hamburg for quite some time.
The
Hamburg (a bit of a German reference, ya think?) has lived past the “flavor of
the month” and continues to sell well based on its reputation as a lot of mic
for the buck. It delivers a sound without the sort of edge that inexpensive
mics are famous for. For voice on a budget, the
Hamburg is a popular
suggestion of mine. It has a rich and detailed midrange that fits voice nicely,
and the top is a natural sound without a presence boost, so it tends to be
forgiving in the sibilant range as well. The
Hamburg does well in a close
mic situation as well as it is not overly boomy either.
Conclusion: On a budget the
Hamburg delivers on male
voice and others.
