Oktava MK-519 Classic Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

 

Oktava JSC are one of the worlds leading manufacturer of studio microphones. Established in Tula, Russia in 1927 Oktava originally started life as a factory designing and producing components for crystal and tube, radio receivers.
In 1936 Oktava produced their first dynamic microphone which was in production for 20 years. 

Oktava microphones are used in many top recording studios and are considered to be up amongst the best studio microphones available in the world.

 

The Oktava MK-519 features a large 27.5 mm condenser capsule with cardioid pattern using an all-brass backplate construction, precision-drilled pattern control holes and optimal 5 micron gold-plated diaphragm. 

An isolation mount / diffuser is installed at the base of the capsule mount to reduce external vibrations.

The MK-519 provides a very high sensitivity and extremely low self-noise level, provided by a high polarizing voltage (about 100 V). The single layer head basket helps to reduce internal sound reflections between the grille and the capsule resulting in clear and natural mid and highs. 

It is recommended that a suitable pop filter be used at all times to protect the delicate capsule.
