Oktava MK-101
Wide Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The MK-101 is a large diaphragm, side-address condenser built upon the successful MK-012 transformerless circuitry. The MK-101 is actually a detachable capsule head; it can be screwed on to any MC-012/MK-012 head amplifier.
The 101 head contains the large-diaphragm capsule from the MK-219/MK-319. This is a 34.5mm, center-terminated capsule (inaccurately described in some cases as a “26mm capsule”).

Like the MK-219 and MK-319 (which use the same capsule), the MK-101 makes a great male or female vocal mic where the recordist needs minimum sibilance but a clear midrange presence. In fact, the ‘101 head driving the transformerless ‘012 body actually reveals some undiscovered ‘air’ this capsule is capable of hearing. I’ve received a number of reports of clients using this mic for drum OH too — large diaphragm “size” but with the transient response and clarity of the transformerless circuit.
The Oktava MK-101 is also known as: MK101.
The mic was released in 2004.
