Product Description:

Introducing the Mojave MA-300 - a modern condenser microphone that brings classic characteristics to your studio. This large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone is a versatile performer, perfect for vocals, piano, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, orchestra, and spot miking. It provides warm, full-bodied reproductions without the shrillness and high-frequency distortion often encountered with modern condenser microphones.

The MA-300 is a testament to over two decades of custom microphone design from Royer. It is constructed with precision, boasting quality components like hand-selected 3-micron gold-sputtered capsules, Jensen audio transformers, and military-grade JAN 5840 vacuum tubes, ensuring premium performance.

Inspired by Mojave Audio's renowned MA-200, the MA-300 enhances versatility by adding multiple polar patterns. Its polar patterns are continuously variable from omnidirectional to figure-8, allowing you to tailor the microphone to your specific application. The MA-300 also features a -15dB pad and a highpass filter, further augmenting its adaptability in the studio.
