- What kind of microphone? (Chant, sound, mixed.)
- What technology? (Electret condenser ...)
Static small diaphragm with multiple capsules (omni-cardio-hyper)
Attenuator-10dB

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
1 ½

- What is so special that you like most and least?
These microphones have an indescribable magic that makes a sound that is soft and grainy, not hardness, their sound is interesting and gives one side a little tired dealing with that fact. This is not a micro fast (for static) but it is enough to fit in Overhead, its place is often elsewhere. I found it very comfortable on the amps overdrive in the area, the atmosphere electric guitar are also very beautiful, they are not faithful, but the frequencies picked up by cardio in an MK012 and placed 3 m the amp, transcribed realism pleasant with a rich, quite full. It's one of my favorite applications for this micro. On the toms are also very comfortable. The capsule cardio for acoustic guitar is not the best, too veiled too tight, I much preferred the omni in this application that gives a lot of openness in the decision.
This microphone is also terrible to use vocal moods or battery (or other), the lower midrange when mixed in the mix can be recognized easily and especially leaves a warm color to the entire forest in which it integrates.
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
In SDC Shure PG81 Only when I got it ....
I was very surprised (positively) by the rendering of these mics, I knew there would be a difference in comparison with the PG81, but not so obvious. Result ... I put my toys in their heels for a year before I finally separated

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Bluffing, but not that much actually. While the mic in question a little surprised as his answer is pleasing to the ear, but when you see the finish, consistency MK012 sound to another (that's what makes them so charming), the specifications are not the most glorious, it is understandable that it costs no more. Then if you compare to 170 euros a PG81 is clear that the MK012 is a sacred matter.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
I bought a pair, I took a third partner in an MK101 capsule recently .... I think this is not the last I buy one wants to put all the mics are so endearing.
