About this product
Product Information
The Oktava MK 219 Condenser Cable Professional Microphone is a mic that can work for just about any occasion. This mic has a classic design that includes a gold spattered Teflon capsule. The MK-219 microphones are fixed pattern, cardioid microphones that are ergonomically designed, which can allow you to hold the mics for long recording sessions. These mics can pick up on the subtleties of the human voice and deliver a professional result.Oktava microphones in this series feature a large diaphragm capsule that can capture every single articulation with clarity. The large capsule can allow your voice to sound genuine and original even when it is amplified in a large, open space. The capsules also include a resonator disk that can extend its high frequency capability. This resonator disk can capture + 4dB at a frequency of 10Hz. The Oktava MK-219 microphone also has low noise, discrete preamplifier circuitry. This allows it to filter out background noise so that only the notes of your music and sounds of your voice are amplified. The modifications this mic can provide you with include a type of tube casing. The mod casing has been acoustically designed to minimize the sound refractions inside the grill. This can allow the mic to provide smoother and more open sounds.The high pass filter has magnetic reed switching, while the resonator disc lends itself well to high frequency sound. The Oktava microphone has a frequency response of 40Hz to 16kHz. This type of frequency response can ensure that the driver components are able to pick up every note of harmonies. The microphone was used in the Soviet Union for Russian video recordings, and it can work just as well in a home recording space in the USA or when you need better sound quality to your videos.This series of mic uses an audio XLR circuit for connectivity. With the audio XLR connection, you can plug the microphone into your preamps and amplify your voice. This standard XLR connection can also work with electronics including keyboards, audio speakers, and amplifiers for on stage performances. It has an impedance of 200 ohms and a max SPL of 120 dB.This Oktava studio modified mic is outfitted with magnetic reed switches. These two switches can make it easy to adjust the operation of the mic during a performance. The microphone also has a 10 dB pad. This 10 dB pad can allow for a good distribution of tone and balanced sounds. The Oktava MK-219 has a high pass filter that can eliminate feedback and reverberations during live performances. It operates on 48 volt phantom power.The adjustable gain can allow users to control the volume of the microphones while they are speaking. These mics also have a built in internal shock mount that can forgive any mishandling. This Oktava condenser microphone weighs 3 pounds, which can make it easy to bring for on the go performances. The Oktava MK-219 comes with a carrying case that can resist water, dust, and dirt. The zippered case is also impact resistant. The powered mic measures about 9 inches long by 6 inches wide by 2 inches deep. The mics can be used on their own or with a coordinating stand for recording vocals and instrumental performances.Product Identifiers

The "Poor Man's U87!"
This mic is excellent for recording and, live vocals. It has been called "The Poor Man's U87." I have put it up against many mics priced higher and hailed as "Industry Standard" and, it outperformed just about every mic that I compared it to, side by side. Beware of fakes made in China. These mics were made in Russia and are no longer made so, you'll have to buy a used one. I've seen it modified but, it sounds great as is! I highly recommend this mic for home and studio recordings. You won't be disappointed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Old school very nice sound
If you like the actual very crisp with high end this mics will not impress you. What make them very special is the way the capture the middle range with a roll off at the very high end. This make the “warm” tone that is very beautiful for me. I also like the proximity effect that maintain a powerful lows without loosing the clarity needed and if still needed more add the high pass filter. I like them very much with strings instruments. The mics suffer a lot of micro phonic problem, yes they need fixing this, but if you are recording low volume instruments in well controlled spaces or even not so well controlled, the mics just may help you bringing all the warm mid tones with very good definition. If you to modify them and increase all the high ends for more contemporary sound, also they are very easy to modify. For the price this mics can offer a unique sound that is complete different that the modern mics fabricate today without sacrificing any definition and clarity for voice over. Remember that I am not any specialist on this theme, I just like music and now I am recording more of it with my mics and recording software finding this Octava MK-319 been a very good as they are. Modifying them may make the sound more contemporary but this is no return decision and already I have few others mics that can do this job. I like them a lot the way they “listen” sound.

Stupid review form!
Does it sound good? NO, It's a shock mount for a mic (DUMB!) Is it easy to use? Yes, it fits my two LDC Oktava mics well, and the wing nut works better than another style MIC shockmount I have. Is it lightweight? Who cares it's a shockmount for a mic (DUMB!)Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
