The JSC Oktava MK-519 features a large 27.5 mm condenser capsule with cardioid
pattern using an all-brass backplate construction,
precision-drilled pattern control holes and optimal 5 micron
gold-plated diaphragm.
An
isolation mount / diffuser is installed at the base of the capsule
mount to reduce external vibrations.
The MK-519 provides a very high
sensitivity and extremely low self-noise level, provided by a high
polarizing voltage (about 100 V). The
single layer head basket helps to reduce internal sound
reflections between the grille and the capsule resulting in clear and natural mid
and highs.
It is
recommended that a suitable pop filter be used at all times to
protect the delicate capsule.
