Re: Suggestion

I can't speak for current stock Oktava 012's quality, but some earlier ones had issues.

With the Oktava M012 you may want to google "Dorsey mod" for the earlier incarnations of this very nice phantom powered condenser mic. I have three that were improved with key component substitution, as outlined by Dorsey.

You can get them complete with a set of three capsules (omni, cardioid, hyper-cardioid) that give great flexibility in use. Just make sure you have return privileges as some early batches were noisey from the factory.

If you are into DIY, they may be "voiced" with tweeks to sound more open.

Nice mics.

Best
