Large Diaphragm Cardioid Transformerless Condenser Microphone with shockmount

Create recordings with incredible realism and clarity with the Mojave Audio MA-50 large-diaphragm condenser microphone. The MA-50 delivers expensive-sounding performance, using the same capsule as Mojave's popular MA-200 and MA-201fet microphones, with a project-studio price tag.

Product Details
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.
