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.

big fan of the mics for drum ovh.
anyone heard the modded ones?
anyone recorded overheads using the omni capsuls?
I'm thinking of getting an omni capsul from oktava usa.
anyone tried the new oktava mics?
thanks for reading Frankie8

THey only give them 1 star for overheads in their table.HAHAHA

I've been using this mic on vocals for about 2 years now, and I can't get a vocal track that doesn't sound like there is a foggy cloud around it. It's a little muffled and dull sounding. No matter what singer or how I change my room.

First off. I've seen this mic called the MC012 and the MK012...no difference in the mic.

Alright, I have used these mics as my OH's, on acoustic guitar, and on violins. I've found someone wanting to buy these from me, and now have a little dough to spend on "better" overheads.

Both of these mics served their purpose (vocals mainly) but the Oktava is dull sounding and the 8 Ball almost sounds like you have a BBE Sonic Maximizer on the vocals. maybe I'm just insane.

Hi everyone

I have an Oktava MKL5000, but I want to experiment with different valves. The problem is that it uses 6C15P, about which it's very difficult to find information. Anyone know compatible alternatives? I've so far found a lot of potentially disastrous misinformation on the Internet.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi all
Has anyone tried the Oktava ribbons? I don't suppose they're an alternative to Royers, but I was just wondering if they're any good at all.

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.
