I imagine Nick's preamp will power the Oktava just fine. You will find
it a great deal more sensitive than the Behringer mic and a bit
livelier sounding due to the less flat response.

Maybe not, it only provides 17v phantom power, lazy I know, but it was a
cheap option.

But possibly at the expense of headroom.

But as long as you're enjoying yourself.... :-)
