From Mojave Audio
The challenge? Create a transformerless microphone circuit without
the inherent problems found in transformerless microphones. Technical
Grammy® award winning microphone designer David Royer has
created a thoroughly modern microphone that rises to that challenge:
the new MA-50. Designed to produce the clarity and realism that
Mojave microphones are known for – at an entry level price – the MA-50
out performs well-known transformerless mics costing many times
more.
The MA-50 is the perfect microphone for pros and semi-pros alike.
Utilizing the same capsule as the MA-200 and MA-201fet, it handles
the fastest transients with ease – even up to 140 dB.
Features:
- Large-diaphragm cardioid 3-micron capsule
- Fixed-cardioid polar pattern
- Transformerless circuitry
- Very low noise
- Includes professional shock mount
- Simple – yet elegant design – perfect for home recording
- High SPL handling
- Fast transient response
Recommended applications:
- Vocals
- Voice-over
- Acoustic Instruments
- Drum Overheads
- Percussion Instruments
- Foley/ADR
