Mojave Audio MA-201fet

The MA-201fet is a large diaphragm, phantom-powered, solid-state condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid pattern. With its roots in a lineage of microphone designs by David Royer, the MA-201fet gives warm, full-bodied reproductions of vocals and instruments, with none of the shrillness and high frequency distortion artifacts that are often encountered with modern condenser microphones.

Utilizing a 3-micron gold-sputtered capsule, high-quality Jensen audio transformer, military-grade FET and custom designed low-noise resistors, the MA-20fet performs at a level reminiscent of some of the best loved classic condenser microphones. Each MA-201fet microphone is carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case with a professional grade shockmount.

Features:

• Hand-selected 3-micron 1″ capsule
• Jensen audio transformer
• Military-grade FET
• Custom designed low-noise resistors
• Ultra clean signal path

Recommended applications:

• Vocals
• Voice Over and Broadcast
• High SPL sources, such as Kick Drums and Bass Guitar Amps
• Electric Guitar
• Piano
• Drum Overheads, Drum Rooms
• Acoustic Instruments
