David Royer started Mojave Audio in 1985 in the garage of his house. The location was Fullerton, California, and Mojave Audio was a one-man, custom pro audio gear shop. David is best known for his ribbon microphone designs with Royer Labs, but he originally started out designing and building vacuum tube microphones, mic preamps and compressors for engineers in the Los Angeles area. Made using authentic Jensen transformers, military-spec new-old-stock tubes, and custom FETs, Mojave microphones are constructed with respect to David’s unprecedented attention to quality. From the premier MA-1000 tube mic to the versatile MA-50 condenser microphone, each Mojave mic is “burned in” for 24 hours, and personally tested by David to ensure quality performance.
