The new SM-Ring shock mount
|
 |
The SM-Ring is a new shock mount for all
Oktava large diaphragm and ribbon mics*. Having a very
small physical size and weight it provides the same
perfect isolation from stand and floor noise as all big
shock mounts do.
The new shock mount has 16 elastic bands, isolating
physically the mic from its stand and filtering the
undesirable noises to an extent of approximately 15 dB. At
the same time it does not load the boom of your mic stand
with heavy weight and reduce the risk of stand’s fall.
Now you have a chance to get it for
free! Just order one of the following microphones*
until the end of 2012
in our shop and you
will receive one SM-Ring per ordered mic. |

Last review of MK-105 in Professional Audio Magazin
|
 |
… balanced, while strong middle band; the bass
response is above average for pressure gradients and is in
the upper-class level. In contrast to its very low price
shows Oktava a mature performance and should not be hide
even in front of much more expensive microphones…
Sound samples… ausgewogene, gleichzeitig kräftige
Mittelband, auch die Basswiedergabe ist für
Druckgradienten überdurchschnittlich und jeweils auf
Oberklasse Niveau. Angesichts seines sehr günstigen
Preises zeigt Oktava insoweit eine reife Leistung und muss
sich auch vor erheblich teueren Mikrofonen nicht
verstecken…

unwanted pop and S-sounds, which appear unavoidable during

 After numerous requirements from our customers we have
developed a new preliminary amplifier for our most popular
MK-012 microphone, which extends its modularity and turns it
into a compact condenser microphone.
 The new preamp is divided
into two parts with an extension cable, the front part of the
cable has a size of standard XLR connector.
Before putting the new preamp into production we want to know
your opinion about some details. So if you are interested in
this product we would ask you to fill in a short questionnaire,
this will enable us to consider your wishes. |
