I was doing some cleaning in my studio and thought I’d share some picture of a pretty rare Oktava microphone, the МКЭ-7. I have a matched pair and the paper manuals with all the infos, graphs etc. Beautiful !
Supposedly an Omni electret but it looks like an Omni SDC to me ?
Shame I haven’t use them a lot because they sounded a bit thin / harsh. I also never recapped them or opened until now. Maybe they sound better without the aluminium grid. I’d have to do some testing.
I am sure you capsule gurus will have clever insight to share
