oktava mk 012

Description

The MK-012 is a compact, high quality capacitor microphone with interchangeable capsules to provide a choice of cardioid, hypercardioid or omni-directional polar patterns. The wide, flat response ensures that all sounds are captured with a high degree of accuracy.

A -10 dB pad is included for use in high SPL environments, a low-cut pad is optionally available. The capsules, which screw onto the microphone body, utilise a precision, integral connection system to ensure reliable electrical contact.

The MK-012 is suitable for use in any situation where an accurate sound is required, the small size of the system makes it ideal for use in broadcast, sound for picture, installation, sound reinforcement and theatre situations as well as the recording studio.

In pairs, the MK-012s are perfectly suited for coincident and spaced stereo miking techniques, and also overhead useage in live and studio situations.

Oktava MK 012 on acoustic guitar

I just got my matched cardioid pair ! I haven't done any serious work with them yet. I did however, do a quik setup and record to tape of my acoustic guitar. I did use them as a spaced pair. I bought these specifically for recording my acoustic guitar. These are some extremely sensitive mics. Wow.

Can anyone tell me if these mics sound anything like the RODE NT5s? I have a set of the RODE but came across a set of the Oktava 's for a good price and am kicking around getting them, though I really don't 'need' them...particularly if they're going to sound close to what I already have.

I mainly use my SDC for acoustic guitar.

Thanks.

Does anyone have comparison advise for these two condenser mics? I am looking for a pair, mainly to mic upright piano. As I live in Australia it is cheaper for me to buy NT5s though the reviews I have read seem to favour the MK012s.

mic repairs?

I have an oktava mk-012 and its got a lot of buzzing and noise when I hook it up with the phantom power. I switched the capsul with one that I know works correctly and still get the same problems which tells me the diaphram is fine. I know these mics are pretty cheap, but would getting it repaired be cheaper than getting a new one? Where can I go for mic repairs? I'm in the chicago area.

Oktava MK-012 or Marshall MXL603?

Submitted by anonymous on Thu, 07/01/2004 - 13:44

Hi, I want to get 2 mics to record my acoustic guitar. I just spoke with a guy at Guitar Center, and he said the Marshall MXL603 was getting some very good reviews and that 2 of those may be better than the MK-012's. Does anyone have any info. on the these mics?

Thanks.

Oktava mk012's and the capsules.

GC has a deal on (2) oktava mk012's for 99.00.

are these any different than the mc012's? (I always thought they were mC012's as opposed to mK012's)

here's the stupid noob question.

I think I am going to get a pair but am debating on whether I need the capsoles as they are more expensive than the mic's themselves.

What the heck's an Oktava MK012?

Musician's friend has the highly touted Oktava MC012's with 3 capsules for $249. They also have the cardiod MK012 for $99. What is it? How does it related to the MC012? Is it just a single pattern MC012? Thanks.
