Oktava mics

terminal3 · #1 (**permalink**) 26th July 2009 , 02:33 PM

Hard to get in the UK without having to import from outside the EU!!

To paraphrase Robert Parker (speaking about Lustau Sherry) - they are the last true bargain in microphones. DV should stack 'em high and sell 'em cheap.

I am personally interested in a pair of MK012s with omni capsules, but there's a whole range of interesting models.

NB - don't accidentally stock counterfeit Oktavas, though! It happened to Guitar Center in the US! Apparently, they found a dodgy wholesaler, and the mics supplied were low-quality fakes of Chinese origin, not the Russian-built originals.

I have a 219 and love it on some applications (though I wouldnt agree they are the last great bargain... Cascade Fatheads anyone?
