Ronald Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Any 633 owners out there have any experience with Oktava MC-012 mics. I originally purchased the 85hz hpf capsule for use with my PSC M4 A+, but since the 633 has the adjustable hpf starting at 80hz it would seem to make the add on capsule unnecessary. Users have also commented that the capsule is noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I've never noticed an increase in noise with the low roll off modules on my MC012s…. I don't use them much, but the idea of having the rolloff before the mic head amp is to avoid overloading that module, which isn't helped by a low rolloff in the mixer. philp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASI Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 From 633 manual: The 633’s High-pass Filter circuit is unique because of its placement before any electronic amplification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Spaeth Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 In my experience the filter does increase the noise of the mic. SD rolloff is fine so I'd take it off. Best advice would be to try for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best advice would be to try for yourself. Sadly I DO notice an increase in noise when using the hi pass filter on the Oktava. Often the ambient noise or air handling systems in the room are such that the additional "hiss" is not noticed, but in a quite studio it defiantely is!

Ronald Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Thanks to all. Michael Joly confirmed and embellished all of your input. Absolutely love the Oktava. Sounds even better with the SD pre amps. And I LOVE that 633! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Reilly Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 "The 633’s High-pass Filter circuit is unique because of its placement before any electronic amplification." Is this true in any other SD mixers? 442? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reineke Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 "The 633’s High-pass Filter circuit is unique because of its placement before any electronic amplification." Is this true in any other SD mixers? 442? The 302's HPF is also placed before any electronic amplification. Don't know about the 442, it's a more complex variable design.
