Product range
Oktava is a Russian microphone and electronics manufacturer based in Tula, Russia. In the late 1990’s Oktava microphones took the world by storm and in a few short years became a top seller of microphones in the USA and world wide. Their quirky, handmade, appearance was not a hindrance to sales, in fact, it became a selling feature at a time when the vintage gear craze was only barely beginning. Handmade using vintage techniques in a vintage factory they became nicknamed “the Russian Neumann.”

Vocal dynamic microphone
The MD-305 dynamic microphone is a new soldier in the Oktava line. This dynamic microphone has a frequency response that is adapted for speech and vocals. The microphone's deep, beautifully colored sound is characterized by a rise in the mid-range region and a decline in the low-frequency region.
Fastening the microphone capsule to the shock absorber prevents the transmission of vibration from the hands of the performer to the capsule. Besides, the microphone has a built-in wind protection.
