Oktava MK-101 Condenser Microphone, Silver Overview
One way this was achieved is by implementing a transformerless output offering increased clarity. This has a number of benefits, one being the ability to use the microphone in high SPL recording environments. The transformerless circuit also provides a wide frequency response range, ensuring the MK-101 can be used in a variety of recording applications.
The circuit is paired with a large diaphragm capsule, providing clarity for a number of sound source. The midrange presence of the capsule has become notorious for the positive effects on vocal and guitar cabinet recordings. This is encased in a large headbasket, providing excellent off-axis response. This allows the microphone to successfully capture room and noise ambience.

The MK-101 utilises a large diaphragm, 26mm capsule to provide ultimate clarity for a range of applications. This is achieved whilst offering a slight midrange presence boost, particularly useful in female vocal applications. The capsule also offers sibilance-free top end, another advantage to singing and spoken word applications.
Headbasket and body
The MK-101 features a large headbasket which helps create an excellent off-axis response in both horizontal and vertical planes. Vertical asymmetry of the headbasket allows the recordist to explore different polar responses when using the mic upright or inverted. This is ideal for users looking to experiment with room and ambient recording techniques. The compact combined size of the headbasket and body allow the MK-101 to be utilised in a range of recording applications. Not only does the small body help microphone placement, but it also minimises reflection between sound source and microphone body.
Transformerless circuit
Oktava have implemented their much-admired transformerless circuit from the MK-012 microphone in the MK-101. The transformerless design allows the MK-101 to deliver an uncoloured and clear sound. This also contributes to the MK-101’s extended high and low frequency response. One of the main benefits to implementing a transformerless circuit is the ability to handle much more level without distortion. This makes the MK-101 extremely versatile in its application, suited to both loud and quiet sources.
