Mojave MA-300

*Special Order

“The Mojave Audio MA-300 is an amazing-sounding microphone that is well built, feature-packed and exceptionally priced; compared with the rest of the Mojave line, this kind of performance is becoming the company’s legacy. The MA-300 should receive top consideration from any engineer or studio looking to broaden its sonic palette.” – Pro Sound News

“Sonically, the MA-300 delivers, bringing its wonderful tube-y personality and great transient response to any recording. It’s a great go-to mic for vocals, drums, guitar amp, acoustic guitar and more.” – Mix

“Mojave mics have been making us look smart and sound good for a few years now. The MA-300 is a welcome addition to the product line. It’s a perfect choice for a budget studio because of its sound, flexibility, and price. It’s equally worthy for the big studios for the same reasons.” – Tape Op

The MA-300 is a multi-pattern large diaphragm, vacuum tube condenser microphone. Based upon the widely accepted MA-200 designed by David Royer, the MA-300 adds a continuously variable pickup pattern selector, 15dB pad and a switchable bass roll-off. The MA-300 gives warm, full-bodied reproductions of vocals and instruments, with none of the shrillness and high frequency distortion artifacts that are often encountered with modern condenser microphones.

Utilising hand-selected, double diaphragm 3-micron capsules, high-quality Jensen audio transformers and military-grade JAN 5840 vacuum tubes, the MA-300 performs at a level reminiscent of some of the best loved classic condenser microphones. The MA-300 power supply can be set for 115V and 230V, 50 or 60 Hz, through an internal switch (100V is also available). Each MA-300 microphone, power supply and cable set is burned in for 24 hours, carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case-within-a-case.
