    Guitar Center Oktava MC-012... no -10dB Pad anymore?

    Russian labour costs are not even in the same century as chinese. A friend here who works for a prominent power supply manufacturer, he just got a bill for an entire months overtime at their chinese manufacturing plant - €200 - at that rate the employees are being payed a few cents an hour...

    The audio-technica atm-10a operates on battery and phantom power and comes with a windscreen. These can be had quite cheap on ebay from time to time. For dynamics have a look at the ev 635a, beyer m58.

    Cheap Oktavas... But quality control issues?

    Just reading a french thread about the new MKII oktavas, http://fr.forums.audiofanzine.com/apprendre/mailing_forums/index,idtopic,109895.html The new ones seem to come without the -10dB pad and are made in China. The casings are also made from a different metal (allegedly steel). The general...

    adk hamburg-->Sebatron-->Safesound p1

    The vocal needs to come up on all the tracks. The hi-hat needs to go down on a child in your eyes. I like the vocal, very stina if you know what I meana. I'd be inclined to give it a bit of high mid to make it cut.

    microphone compare

    If you're really only going to record vocals stump up an extra $20 and get the V67g, I wouldn't get the B1 for vocals. $99 with free shipping http://www.frontendaudio.com/MXL%20V67G.htm Plus the V67G has the added bling bling goldy factor :D

    microphone compare

    Well its no neumann but it will get the job done :) You need a pop filter to record vocals, the cheapest that zzounds have is $25 If you're really strapped for cash you could make a pop filter with a nylon stocking and a coat hanger though.

    v67 and v67g

    I have no doubt that it makes a difference I just have a doubt about the magnitude of the difference. We are probably talking about something well below 100dB of normal signal levels.

    v67 and v67g

    Its a division of marshall electronics - and since they own it, its probably the cheapest source of cable, also by printing "wired with mogami" they get free advertising, improved brand recognition for their other product and also imply something abouts its quality.

    How bad is quality control in Oktava´s

    Or sell them on ebay :( I have three MK-012s they all have tooling marks and scratches but they work perfectly and sound great. I have worked in electronics for 12 years and have seen hundreds of tonnes of parts scrapped due to tiny -> slight cosmetic defects like that. It really adds to the...
