Yeah, it has very serious problems related to body resonance and headgrille diffraction / reflection. (steps away because a topology mod is required - but its pretty close in its stock form). Topology - Just steps away from being an absolutely pristine, class-A, single FET circuit with no wacky feedback / feed forward crap - just impeccable, low phase shift sound. Again, if you had to get something this good from one of the major transformer houses it would cost $80-100. Next, the transformer - wonderful, meaty iron mojo. ![]() If you had to buy a capsule this good it would cost you $200-plus. ![]() ![]() But yet, the "Bakelite Body" 219 capsule has the closest response to a Neumann K47 capsule that I've measured in an inexpensive microphone - a few dB softer on top, but the lower midrange presence, smooth midrange, articulated upper midrange and absence of sibilance is all there. Let's look at what you get in a stock MK-219.Ī unique, Russian-designed capsule that is not a copy of anything else on this planet. When it was first introduced to the West in 1994 it garnered some pretty high acclaim from reviewers. JNThe stock MK-219 is indeed a useful mic to have. If it can be gotten pretty cheap, is the MK 219 a useful mic to have or does it really need to be modded. ![]()
