Mojave Audio MA-100

MSRP: $795 Detachable-Capsule Pencil Condenser Tube Microphone

Description

Designed by David Royer, the MA-100 is a small diaphragm, tube condenser microphone with interchangeable cardioid and omnidirectional capsules.

Its “cathode follower” design allows use on high-SPL instruments such as drums and guitar amplifiers, as well as the more common applications of a small diaphragm condenser.

High-end components include:

• hand selected 3 micron capsules
• high quality Jensen audio transformers
• military-grade JAN 5840 vacuum tubes

The MA-100 power supply can be set for either 115v or 230v via an external switch. Each MA-100 microphone, power supply and cable set is burned in for 24 hours, carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case.

The Mojave Audio MA-100 is also known as: MA100.
