He plays guitar in that band and sings, so I had him go in the live room and sing and play guitar. My assistant, Marc Goodman, has a band called Illumina that is great. The little MK-219 looked tiny with no shockmount, no big burly cable-just the now nice-looking mod'ed MK-219 sitting on the stand next to a hefty cross section of recording history. A Blue Mouse, the U95, a GT MD1a (also one of my favorites), and a LOMO 19A19 (just for some Russian love). I put up a C 12, also beloved by yours truly. I hung up the phone thinking that this little mic in my hands could take on the world!
Oktava mk 219 condenser microphone pro#
just because I actually really enjoyed talking with Michael and hearing of his vast experience in pro audio design (check the OktavaMod website-it is too much to get into here). I decided I would do the most "unfair" shootout ever. I have a bunch of microphones to use at Studio G when it comes to vocals: two U 47s, a C 12, a Soundelux U95, and lots, lots more. That is as simple as I can think to put this.
Professional, high- quality, great-sounding pieces of art. Michael Joly takes these cool, unique little gems and turns them into true works of art. I think it was the second that they popped up at the various "Wal-Mart of audio" stores. At some point, Oktava became the sort of "default" low-priced microphone.
I have always had a soft spot for Oktava, ever since the days when they seemed just as exotic in form and function as any LOMO or RTT I came in contact with. I love it when I meet someone that loves recording as much as I do, and in this case, the expression is through the modifying and "re-engineering" of Oktava microphones. Let me start this rant of a review by saying that endeavors like this one warm my recording heart.
