Fortunately, Todd is super cool enough to mod my guitar center Oktava MC-012's sometime in the future (thanks Todd!!). So hopefully the bodies should be matched in output. Now all I have is the cardioid caps from gc, and I don't know if these are matched are not. I contacted Sound Room (which sells matched pairs for $178 a pair) and they were willing to offer a deal if I bought all three (omni, cardioid, and hyper) matched caps, but it's still a boat load of dinero. So that brings me to my question(s):
How do I test the caps I already have when I don't even know if the bodies are matched?
How do I even test the mics and caps I have right now to see if they're matched? Recording same sound in same spot then comparing wav's?
I heard that the ebay seller "recordingservices" is a licensed oktava dealer? He has HANDMATCHED caps for just a little cheaper...
I know there are some experienced oktava users, so I appreciate any help. thanks
