The microphone’s capsules, which can also be exchanged with other directional capsules (Hyper-Cardioid, Omni, not included), have a precise and integrated connection system to ensure reliable electrical contact. The MK-012 microphone is generally suitable for use in all situations where precise sound is required. The small size of these mics makes it ideal for use in broadcast, sound, installation, sound reinforcement, theatre and recording studios.
As a stereo pair, the Oktava MK-012 microphones are perfect for all common Stereo Microphone techniques as well as for overhead use in live and studio situations. Included in delivery is a -10dB pad for use in environments with high SPL values, a microphone holder and a beautiful wooden box.

I wish I had discovered these mics sooner. They sound really good and are tremendously versatile - no real drawbacks, or vices to tame
These microphones are less of an industry secret now, but if this is news to you, definitely consider a set! They are crystal clear and have a certain tonal character to them. If you match them with the right pre-amp, these could become one of the most used mics in your collection. I use them with virtual API pre amps through a Universal Audio Apollo unit, specifically for acoustic guitar and acoustic piano. I’m in a one room studio and the off axis rejection is impressive. Simply a must have stereo pair for the price, sooo good!
