another Oktava question

[giraffe]

yes, although i'm not exactly sure whare, a search should turn it up.
but a little warning, i'm not sure of the controols used by the tester, i remember thinking it sounded a little haphasard.

wasn't that long ago though.

i think your thinking of the test between

the Oktavas and the MXL 603s

am i correct?

from what i've heard, the differences are exactly what you'd think

the ones made in china are a little brighter, with a touche less to the low mid area.

exactly what one would think coming from china.

Sounds like you nailed it.

i wonder if any one has a A/B test of the 2?

The C in MC-012 is for microphone and was meant for export from Russia - reportedly to be better in the QC department.

The K in MK-012 is for mikrofone, as the mics were not intended for export. Reported to be of lesser QC.

Anyway, that's what's up behind the MC-012 and the MK-012. Both of which are capable of working well, sucking, or breaking - and everything in between.

before the break, the same exact mic was manufactured for two different markets, at the same plant, with different model #.

only recently have they been different.
