I just received the back issue Recording Magazine with the OKTAVA 012
mic mod article.

Has there been any erratta or addenda since you wrote that article?


No changes at all, I don't think. I do know the 1G resistors are now
only available in a lead-free version... if the Digi-Key guys don't
recognize the part number, put an E on the end for the lead-free one.

Would you choose the same parts now, etc?


Yes, pretty much. It _may_ be possible to replace that ceramic input
coupling cap with a low leakage film cap. I haven't found one with low
enough leakage, but I am thinking it is possible to find one. It's going
to have to be a polypropylene, probably a film-and-foil type. Cut types
are right out. In the meantime, use the ceramic.
