Oktava MK-012-01 hypercardiod microphones, matched pair, calibration protocols below - two coordinate systems, each for one mic, measurements from 20Hz to 20KHz in 0° (top), 90° (center) and 180° (bottom) phases.

How can i scan this and have values read into a text file, like
Freq Vol
20 0,00
23 0,04
...
20000 -12,2

? Is there a software for this type of thing?

Note: for actual speaker calibration I'll use omnis, of course.

Oktava MK-012-01 hypercardiod microphones, matched pair, calibration protocols - two coordinate systems, each for one mic, lines values from 20Hz (left) to 20KHz (right) in 0°, 90° and 180° phases.

@ivan zlax Hey Ivan, i hope, that you are doing fine. One thing I would love to pass on to the marvellous engineers at Oktava is, that their microphone clients would benefit a lot from finding data sets/value lists of their frequency diagram on a dedicated Oktava page.
If such lists were available upon entering a serial number into a page on their website, then customers could escape a lot of the possible errors, when doing a manual scan yourself.
Here's an example, scanned from the lower one of the diagrams above:

@_jayrope the russian-language site provides diagrams in graphical form for the exact models: https://oktavamicrophones.ru/mk-012

And there's a link to the techspec there too.

If you need the data exactly in text form, as you wrote above - i think it is better to make an email enquiry: export@oktavatula.com (it's an "export" mailbox, so you can write to it in english)

That's perfekt, I'll write to them, thank you!

As of the frequency diagram above i find the same in the english manual, page 13, however this is an ideal e.g. theoretical version, as in actual production every mic they produce has deviations from the ideal curve. The reason for this is mainly, that an electrical diagram will almost never meet manufactured parts later, which are fabricated exactly to specs. Instead any parts have small deviations from the ideal values, therefore resulting in deviating frequency responses of individual microphones of the same kind. Just to explain that. But I'll do the rest with them via email. This helps a lot as service in Germany/EU is otherwise very limited due to the current embargo. Bloody embargo.
