a-48 a "vintage style" mic?

Well, ADK calls it a vintage type. I've not used those Neumanns, I have compared it to Soundelux E47 and E49, and the A-48 has much more detail and air than those mics. Hardly any bass proximity, and a really nice sheen on the highs, good resonant mids.
From my conversations with ADK, they seem to consider their modeled mics to represent either the "German" or the "Austrian" approach. I've heard A-48 maybe was meant to be around the M49 range, but I think it has some of the "Austrian" flavor IMO, as far as the general tones I've heard recorded among those types.
