Winter NAMM 2012 News
I've been using the Oktava MK-219 for a few months and it is a pretty cool little mic. It is good for a number of different situations and has a pretty clean sound quality. Oktava has a great line of mics that usually sound pretty good and are quite affordable. This is a pretty unique looking microphone and looks unlike any other mics that I ...
I've been using the Oktava MC-012-01s for about a year or a year and a half and I've found these mics to be pretty great, especially considering the price. These are some of the best bang for your buck on the market as they offer a high quality small diaphragm condenser microphone for an incredibly low price. Like most small diaphragm condense...
I've been using these mics for about 8 months. I love the high, crisp sound you can get with them. I primarily use them as overhead mics. I tend to use them as my go-to for drum overheads, because they pick up the full sound of cymbals incredibly well. For this reason I also enjoy using them on hi-hats. I have used them in tandem with AKG C12's ...
I've been using the Oktava MK 319 for about a year and have found it to be a good, cheap option for a large diaphragm condenser mic. I have used this microphone for a wide array of recording applications, including for male and female lead vocals, as well as back up vocals, acoustic guitar, trumpet, saxophone, and a variety of other things. It i...
I've been using the Oktava MK-102 small diaphragm condenser mics for about two or three years and have found them to be great mics that are useful in a number of different settings. The multiple polar pattern choices make it a versatile mic that can be used in a few different practical recording settings. I have used this microphone mostly on ac...
I have had these for maybe 5 years in a stereo pair. I used them as drum overheads for a long time. Really, they are just kind of average microphones. They come with a pad connector, so if you are recording something very loud you can still get a usable signal. They do a pretty good job with transients, but I do wish they were a little brigh...
One capsule each other, the sound is cohrent, but the dominant tone change. The capsule 101: the bottom is round and slightly behind, the treble a little harsh especially in the transitional nanmoins the medium is rich enough. the capsule heart: as the 101 but a little more aggressive the omni capsule: feeling of s...
3 months of use. I tried a lot of static in this price range. I had a budget of 600 euros and I wanted to start a TLM 102. For the same price as new (and 450 used) I have two microphones that work very well matched. Very subtle and precise while remaining warm in overheads, recovery and female voices folk as male. This is a purchase that I reall...
I use it for a week. Before purchasing this microphone, and I had tested the microphones: Neumann TLM 103, TLM 193 and U87, m-audio sputnik, rode k2, behringer b2 pro, stc prodipe 3-D, Rode NT2, samson co1 (a pure crap lol). I would say that of all the microphones I tested had or is the best by far. (Note that I say this b...
Used for recording a female voice, he transcribed accurately harmonics while minimizing whistling. He was selected from a AKG too bright and too AudioTechnica stifled. Bought used was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this microphone. It is also used at 90 ° for even more bass. Do not forget to check taken at...
