I didn't come up with this so I take no credit... I read about it on the internet and tried it out as it didn't cost a dime other then 5 minutes of time...
t I have 2 MK-319 mics. I have read the octava mod site and was like the mics are not bad to start off with considering the $$. There is much one can do to upgrade to them but I don't have the parts and what not.
Anyway long story short, I took one mic and removed the plastic discs that are mounted to both sides of the capsule... there was a night and day difference between the mic with the plastic disc's(stock) and the mic without the plastic dics(modded). The modded one offered a more smooth frequence response and less of a bass boost and hi end boost that the stock one had.
Tested the mics side to side on the same instrument with the exact same mic pre's in the exact same position. Oh boy the modded one sounded so good on that martin acoustic guitar. The stock one was mushy mids with big bass and brittle high end.I am quite pleased with the sound and if anyone wanted to host some mono sound files for me i could provide them of the before and after...I will post pics later on tonight when i get home.
