ADK Custom Begins R&D Seeking High-Definition Capsule Technology.In opposition to over-paying for European Capsules, ADK Custom Shop USA adds a PhD in Aeronautical Engineering to their Design Team to aid in our effort to create a new series of high-end capsules; and then to build a factory to be able to integrate this new technology over a wide spectrum of products.
"Our Twin Goal is to offer this technology as a RETRO-Fit to certain Original ADK, and also to create an entirely HYBRID Microphone System using these Capsules".
CEO Larry Villella explains.
"It's like being a luthier and needing spruce to build your guitar. If you go and buy lumber, that's one thing. If you own a forest, that's a whole different thing!
If the trees are on the north slope of the mountain, you harvest the best tone-wood!! Everyone Agrees - the Capsule is the Soundboard of the Microphone. It's axiomatic.
ADK's goal is to build 'North-Slope Capsules'! And to integrate into worthy design-sets. The Mandate to our Engineers is to Over-Build the Product to an Aerospace Standard."
