What We Think

avatar

The Oktava MK-012 has been a go-to mic for a number of audio applications for me, for around 20 years now. Whether it be acoustic guitar and stringed instruments, drum room and overheads (thanks to it's great transient response), or even dialogue, the MK-012 is a reliable tool for the job. Their detail, off-axis rejection (cardioid and hyper-cardioid capsules), as well as tunable proximity effect – coupled with the different kit configurations, makes the MK-012 a highly versatile small diaphragm condenser. The Omnidirection capsule has a very open and smooth natural sound. This makes it perfect for drum room, acoustic stringed instruments, and piano. Pairing the Omni cap with a Cardioid cap can really make an acoustic guitar sound larger than life, and give a unique stereo image.
