First real post on this forum, wanted some advice/opinions for an upcoming project.
I have an Oktava MK219 that has a capsule that's totally shot (quite a bit of material missing). The circuitry appears to be in fine shape, and whoever owned this before me clearly attempted some modifications. The grill is cut out and some poorly mounted mesh has been put in its place, which I will be redoing.
I'm considering a few capsules for this project, with the Arienne Audio Flat K47 being the one most interesting to me. I'd also be interested in trying out some sort of CK12 inspired capsule as I currently don't have anything with that voicing flavor in my studio currently. I'm less interested in having a pure clone, and more interested in trying out something that would provide an interesting flavor for the studio. If I like the results well enough, I have another Oktava MK219 I can modify.
I would love some opinions or ideas for what to throw in as an interesting experiment. I'll be sure to post audio examples of whatever capsule I put in here after the job is done
