Topic: Do you love your Oktava m?-012???

I'd like to try this Oktava...

If it's what I think it is - it's in breach of Soundfield's patents.

I did hear that there was a microphone that breached Soundfield's patents and had to be taken off the market.

hmmm I know Core-Sound is making a tetra mic

what do Soundfield's patents cover exactly?

Got the capsules today... pictures included in top post.  coolness.

How do they sound?

I think almost anything referring to tetrahedal using wide cardioids and the conversion - they are very wide ranging.

i want one.

Hmm, think that price is with or without caps?  the description says it can be used with any of the oktava "heads" I assume they mean capsules.  that thing would be fun to play with!  think, that mic>R4.  that is a pretty low pro 4 channel recording!

4 chan input....but 2 chan output.
I WANT IT !!!!

from the front end site:

Oktava MK-012AM Details

90$ each while they last thru the end of the month

What is $90?  The MK012 mics?  If so, where is the dealer.

Thanks,

Like I need any more mics, lol.  Just "asking" for now...

He might have been talking about MK012 mics or capsules.  I'm not expecting the four-headed beast to be that cheap!

yea...it outputs 4 channels.  but its nothing you could listen to.  you'd need to mix it to 2 or 5.1 or 7.1/10.1

I know the site says it is compatable with MK series caps but doesn't that mean it would work with the Red LD caps as well!

Stay up with the post not the hijack... You can buy the Red lollypop L/D Capsules that fit the MC-012 bodies (link on top post) for 90$ each... the surrround mic costs .. ahem.. more.

are your bodies Dorsey modded?  I would love to hear a four way comp of the red card vs mk card both with and without the dorsey mod!
