I think you can get a figure 8 capsule for an Oktava Mk12.

Neumann KM-86 -- two km-84 capsules back to back, I believe. And very cool.

Not when you can get a used 414 B/ULS for the same price, or an AT4050, etc. Now, if it was $199, then I would consider it.

Oh I know about those and other ribbon and LDCs with figure 8. I'm just curious aboud SDC (or dynamic) figure 8 as something different.

That Octava is quite interesting. I already have a pair of th mics.

With your pair of Oktavas you could do a fair sounding mid-side drum overhead. Now I want one of those thingies. I would be very interested in a bi-directional dynamic. especially if it sounded like a Sennheiser 408 or a 441.
