Rivals’ Expensive Transformerless Mics The Mojave Audio MA-50 large-diaphragm condenser microphone allows you to make recordings that are very realistic and clear. The MA-50 provides expensive-sounding performance, using the same capsule as Mojave’s famous MA-200 and MA-201fet microphones, at a project-studio budget. The modest but attractive MA-50 competes with transformerless microphones that cost much more. With a fixed-cardioid polar pattern, rapid transient response, and high SPL handling, the MA-50 records voices, acoustic instruments, percussion, and other sounds with low noise and great off-axis rejection, making it an ideal workhorse mic. The Mojave Audio MA-50 large-diaphragm condenser microphone produces results that appeal to professionals and semi-professionals. An expensive-sounding microphone sans sticker shock. The MA-50, which uses transformerless circuitry and the same large-diaphragm cardioid 3-micron capsule as Mojave’s acclaimed MA-200 and MA-201fet microphones, produces clear, realistic reproductions of vocals and instruments that rival (and outperform in some applications) classic microphones that cost many times more. Versatile studio performance with voices and instruments When we put the Mojave MA-50 through its paces here, we were pleased with its versatility. This microphone’s low noise, rapid transient response, and high SPL handling make it equally suitable for vocal, voice-over, acoustic instruments, drum overhead, percussion, and Foley/ADR applications. Mojave Audio MA-50 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone Features: Uses the same capsule as Mojave’s more expensive options, resulting in premium-sounding results. Transformerless circuitry provides superior realism and clarity. The fixed-cardioid polar pattern provides exceptional off-axis noise suppression. Excellent transient responsiveness for capturing percussion sounds. High SPL handling for recording guitar cabs and noisy sources. Includes shock mount and carrying bag.
