Selling a 100% authentic, unmodified Oktava MK-319 large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone. This is a genuine Russian-made unit from the legendary Tula factory, NOT one of the inferior Chinese-made counterfeit copies that flooded the market years ago.

Verified Authentic Russian Build Signs:

• The Resonator Disk: Features the original plastic, 8-hole "telephone-receiver style" resonator disk covering the capsule (clearly visible through the grille if you hit it with light just right).
• The Hardware: Built with the original factory flathead screws (not cheap Phillips-head replacements).
• The Finish: Features the original vintage matte body finish and a matte XLR connector housing.

Condition & Use:
I am the original owner, having purchased it ~2004 or so. IThis microphone is in beautiful, original condition. Crucially, the internal circuitry is 100% stock and unmodified. If you are looking for a pristine, untouched platform to send out for a professional Michael Joly/OktavaMod or Dorsey modification, this is the exact unit you want. It delivers that classic, sought-after "Oktava sound"—a warm, smooth, "woody" midrange with a dark, vintage-style top-end roll-off. It is incredible for smoothing out harsh vocal sibilance, taming bright acoustic guitars, rounding off brass instruments, or using as deep, rich drum overheads.

What’s Included:

• Genuine Russian Oktava MK-319 Microphone
• Original Oktava zippered vinyl soft case with the iconic Oktava Bear Logo
• Original factory microphone stand mount/clip
