I haven’t gotten to that one yet - I’ve been stuck on Truth About Vintage Amps!

@ulriggribbons You talked warmly about one of the Soviet era Oktava models, and I forgot to make a mental note of which one. Can I please ask which one?

I thought recording was about telling lies through rose tinted glasses. How can there be a truth - it's not gravity  |

I have several different models, and have repaired pretty much all of them. Keep an eye out for a good price on the ML-19. Directional, and with a good ribbon sounds great! Regards Jon |

With prices these days, I assume anything I say is not going to be attainable. =P
Rule of thumb buying a used ribbon mic is always assume it will need a new ribbon. If you factor that into what you are willing to pay, sometimes you are pleasantly surprised with not needing it.
Somewhere around $300 assuming a reribbon would be an OK deal.
Regards
Jon

Isn't that mic sorta like working, with a 4038?
Because you usually need to carve out, the Source?
Thanks, Chris
P.S. How's the ML-52?

Not sure I quite follow, but I'll take a stab at the response anyway. =P The ML19 is cardioid, not figure 8. It's significantly less fragile than a 4038, so can be placed closer on sources, where I feel the 4038 is more an area mic, too close and the ribbon will pop. As to carving/eq, not in my experience. I don't claim to be a big name recordist/producer. I did a cello recording with my daughter, and used an ML-19 for multi-tracked cello, it sounded better than multiple other mics on her instrument, and no EQ was necessary. That said, I'm sure the standard disclaimer will be "it depends on the source, and the song" I also use it on my own voice, and like it there too, no EQ. Plenty of output, mixes well with other sources. I have several ML19's, my son uses one on his electric guitar recordings, and I like his results. He doesn't process his tracks at all, definitely no eq, as I taught him on a tascam hd recorder, with a focus on make it sound great in the room, and then capture that. The ML52, and ML53.... Not great in my opinion. The designs are mechanically poor, and have really high handling noise, vibrations, etc. Oh, I'm getting older, so my kids are adults (in case you are envisioning 5 and 6 year olds being recorded by their pops =) ) Regards Jon |
