New "Colette" type extension cable from Oktava

[efksound]

It seems that Oktava is about to release a similar "Schoeps Colette" extension cable.
The extension cable includes the MK-012 preamp. I wonder why
they didn't come up with a cable with the pin connector on both sides.
One side to screw the capsule, the other side to screw the MK-012
preamp. I'm sure it would be cheaper and would save you to buy another
preamp.
Their having an online questionnaire for users to fill before putting
it into production...

copy paste from their site...




"After numerous requirements from our customers we have developed a
new preliminary amplifier for our most popular MK-012 microphone,
which extends its modularity and turns it into a compact condenser
microphone.

The new preamp is divided into two parts with an extension cable, the
front part of the cable has a size of standard XLR connector.

Before putting the new preamp into production we want to know your
opinion about some details. So if you are interested in this product
we would ask you to fill in a short questionnaire, this will enable us
to consider your wishes"

Dear Oktava... get the total size (meaning LENGTH) of the head end... shorter... but aside from that... once again, thanks for responding to our discussions.
