I recently purchased an Oktava 319. I've been using it for basement recording and left it up on the mic stand uncovered for about a week. I tried to use it today, and no sound is coming through. I can hear things through the headphones when I move the mic around, but no vocals come through unless I turn the inputs way up, and only then it's a very distorted fuzzy sound. Someone said I could have gotten dust on the ribbon and ruined it. Someone else said all these condensors take is just the right tap, and the riboon is gone. I tried the cords on other mics and they work. Phantom power is on. I guess I just need to know if it's dead and/or if someone else has had a similar expereince. I've moved the buttons on the mic around too. Still no sound.

Sep 01, 2004 10:28 am Is it possible that someone knocked the mic over without you knowing it? I would plug in a different condensor to see if that one works. I know you said that you tried the cords on other mics, but didn't say if the test mics required phatom power or not to operate. If you can't get it narrowed down as to where the problem actually is, then I would take it back to where you bought it. Have them plug it in and see if it works.
Trouble shooting:
Identify the problem
Localize the problem
Isolate the problem
Solve the problem
That's the way I always look at it anyway.
Sep 01, 2004 10:30 am Did you ever yank the cord out without turning off the phantom power to it or anything along those lines?
Sep 01, 2004 02:36 pm Yeah, that's what I was thinkin'... sumpin' 'bout the 48v feed ?
Sep 01, 2004 06:21 pm hm ive had no problems with my 319. i would definitely check the phantom power first.
any truth to what he said about the ribbon? i hadnt heard that before..
