Mojave Audio MA-301fetVG Multi Pattern Condenser Microphone

Impeccable build-quality, top-grade components and useful built-in features make this an outstanding mic for any studio! The MA-301fetVG from Mojave Audio is a multi-pattern large diaphragm, solid-state condenser microphone. Based upon the popular MA-201VG designed by David Royer, the MA-301VG adds a 3-position pickup pattern selector, a 15dB pad and a switchable bass roll-off.

Utilizing a 3-micron gold-sputtered capsule, high-quality Jensen audio transformer, military-grade FET and custom designed low-noise resistors, the MA-301VG performs at a level reminiscent of some of the best loved classic condenser microphones. Each MA-301VG microphone is carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case with a professional grade shockmount.
