The mod that we perform to the Oktava MK219 and MK319 is almost the same. The circuit and layout is very close and the same
results are achieved.
- Mod the Grill to a more open and
transparent brass wire mesh. In the 219, I cut out the grates across the
capsule.
- Replace and bias the FET with a
Neumann style fet.
- Two resistors are replaced with 1 Gigaohm
resistors
- Replace the electrolytic capacitors
with better capacitors.
- Replace the transformer coupling
capacitor with a better capacitor.
- Retain the switches without adding capacitance ** (See citation below)
- Isolate the capsule from the
capsule mount.
- Replace the wire with Mil.
Spec.Teflon/ Silver coated stranded wire.
- Coat the interior of the body with a
rubber compound. (Better than Silicone)
- Burn in the mic for three days and
retest.

The MK012 is a
wonderful mic that sounds great out of the box. With some changes the
mic sounds amazing.
