Hello Scott,

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?
Would you choose the same parts now, etc?

Thanks,

Tom B.

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.

This should be available for a call to the editors at 303-516-9118, I think.

On a similar note, I've read references to a passive eq project you did,
but all I can find at the Recording website says "active". Was I
misinformed?
