Oktava MC012 - any experience?

[mickeloaf]

I've been eyeing the Oktava MC012 microphones due to some very good reviews. However, most people seem to be using them for musical instrunments. Has anyone actually used them for dialog? Used them outdoors? Tried different heads on these things? What's the assessment on these?

Thanks again guys.
Mike

I have heard how good it is for indoor dialogue etc. but not for outdoor situations since it is very sensitive to movement and wind noise etc.
that is all I know.

I ACTUALL DO USE ITN WITH HIPER CARDIOID CAPSUL TO RECORD IN SITUATIONS THAT DANGERUS FOR MY SCHOEPS , THATS AVERY GOOD MIKE FOR THE MONEY YOU PAY ( IN EUROP IT COST ABOT 250EURO SO THE STATE PRICE IS COMPLITLY A JOK)

ITS SOUND VERY DISSENT INDORS , YOU NEED VERY GOOD SHOCK MOUNT ON YOUR BOOM OR AT LEAST CUT AROUND 80HZ TO PREVENT HEARING RUMBLE , THAT MIKE IS ALITTLE BIT MORE SENSITIV THEN CIMILAR PRODUCTS (EXEPT THE NEUMAN 100 CIRIES ).
THATS NOT SCHOEPS BUT FOR 200 BUCKS FOR THE MIKE IS AREAL BARGEN
