Mojave Audio MA-100 Review

recordinghacks.com

The Mojave MA-100 Condenser Microphone impresses with its robust design and versatile performance, especially on drums and acoustic instruments. Its unique tube circuitry manages high SPLs with ease, delivering warm, detailed sound without the harshness typical of small-diaphragm condensers. While it lacks built-in pads or roll-off options, its ability to handle big transients shines, particularly in drum applications, where it captures expansive, rich tones. The MA-100's adaptability extends to acoustic guitar and piano, offering clarity and fullness without distortion. At $795, it's a cost-effective choice for those seeking a small-diaphragm mic with a big sound.

Field Test: Mojave MA-100 Tube Microphone

mixonline.com

The Mojave MA-100 Condenser Microphone impresses with its versatile sound, offering two interchangeable capsules and a forgiving transient response that flatters brash instruments. While it excels with detailed cymbal and percussion recordings, and provides a rich stereo image for room mics, its design is marred by a poor mic clip and intermittent technical issues. Despite these flaws, its ability to enhance studio recordings makes it a valuable asset, especially given its sub-$1k price tag. A must-hear for those seeking a mic with character and adaptability.

Delson opened the door to a sound room to show his amps. “Be sure not to knock any of the mikes,” cautioned Delson. In this wood-paneled room four separate stations housed brawny modern amps: an Orange TH100 head through an Orange 2x12 cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, miked with a Heil PR 30, a Sennheiser MD 421, and a Royer R-121; a Chandler GAV19T head through an Orange 1x12 cabinet with a Vintage 30, miked with a Mojave MA-100 and a Neumann FET47; an Engl Fireball 100 through a Marshall 1960 cabinet, miked with a Shure SM57, an MD 421, and an FET47; and a Bogner Customized Twin Jet through a Bogner Ubercab, miked with a PR 30, an MD 421, and an R-121.
