This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.170.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 July 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Oktava''' (Октава) is a Russian [[microphone]] manufacturer, which is part of [[Ruselectronics]] holding. It produces a variety of microphones for professional audio and general use. Oktava sells most of its products to the United States and Europe.

== History ==
[[File:Oktava319.jpg|thumb|Oktava319]]
In June 1927, the electronics plant that became Oktava opened in [[Tula, Russia|Tula]], producing radio components, and in four years grew from a local workshop into a large plant supplying microphones across the Soviet Union, attached to the Ministry of Postal Services.

Around 1932, the plant focused on the production of acoustical-electrical transducers, microphones and loudspeakers, and their first prototype [[tuned radio frequency receiver]] was produced that year. In 1934 the plant designed and manufactured a 30-watt dynamic loudspeaker, and the first batch of 100 was installed in [[Moscow]] squares. A 10-watt horn loudspeaker followed the next year, which would remain in production until 1945. 1936 saw the release of a dynamic microphone and the T35 radio receiver. The T37 radio receiver, released two years later, won second prize at the 1938 Technology of Communication exhibition.

In October 1941 the plant evacuated to [[Perm, Permskaya Oblast|Perm]], but technicians and engineers were able to return early the following year to reconstruct the plant, which re-opened in May, producing mine-detectors, horn loudspeakers, and dynamic microphones. In 1943 the company developed a crystal loudspeaker and won first prize in a national competition. Another similar prize followed in 1945, and 169 staff members won medals in recognition of "excellent work". In 1946 the plant adopted the name ''Oktava'' (meaning "octave"), and in 1948 they began production of a 100-watt loudspeaker, the first batch of which were installed in [[Red Square]], [[Moscow]]. In 1949 the plant began producing their carbon powder microphone and electromagnetic inset receiver, and also received their first export order, for the SDM microphone.

1951 saw the creation of a 25-watt radial moving-coil loudspeaker, for that year's Agricultural Exhibition in Moscow. From around 1954, the plant began to modernise and focus exclusively on telephone and microphone production. In 1957, Oktava small telephones and moving coil radial loudspeakers were displayed in the Russian section at the [[Expo 58|1958 exhibition in Brussels]]. In 1961 Oktava introduced the D2 miniature telephone and began supplying dynamic microphones to the [[Kremlin]]. The plant also commenced a second round of modernisation and began producing electro-acoustic measuring instruments to test microphones and telephones.

From 1964 Oktava began implementing a [[Zero Defects|"zero-defect" production system]], and their TM-4 miniature telephone and ML-16 ribbon microphones received state quality marks. During this period Oktava was providing equipment for Kremlin meeting rooms and [[Ostankino Technical Center]], the state's biggest TV studio. Oktava loudspeakers were installed in large arenas and squares around the country.

In the 1980s and early 1990s, Oktava began producing a number of new model microphones. Many of these were recognised at the National Exhibition of Industrial Achievements, including the TG-12 headphones and MD-82 microphone (bronze medal, 1983), MCE-9 microphone (bronze medal, 1984), TDS-2 telephone (bronze medal, 1985), and MD-86 microphone (2nd Diploma, 1986). In the same period, they also began producing hearing aids, with the Electronica and Y-03 hearing aids going into production in 1993. Oktava started exporting during the mid-1990s after modernizing the factory, and their microphones were well received in the west for their reasonable quality and competitive price.

Between 2009 and 2017 Oktava was integrated into the [[Ruselectronics]]-Group. Since 2017 Oktava is directly controlled by the governmental conglomerate [[Rostec]], which makes 87% of their turnover in the military sector.<ref name="sipri">((Cite web |title=The SIPRI Top 100 Arms Producing and Military Services Companies, 2018 |url=https://sipri.org/sites/default/files/2019-12/1912_fs_top_100_2018.pdf |website=Stockholm International Peace Research Institute |access-date=2022-04-14))</ref>
