About This Listing

Drawing inspiration from some of yesterday’s most revered micro- phones, Technical Grammy® award winning microphone designer David Royer has created a thoroughly modern tube microphone that features an original new old-stock 5840 tube, 251-style capsule, and custom designed transformer built by Coast Magnetics. The result? A sweet, airy top end, ‘you-are-there’ realism in the mids and an accu- rate yet authoritative bottom end.

The Signature Series has been exhaustively field tested against microphones often costing $20K or more – universally evoking the same ‘Wow’ response usually reserved for only the most prized vintage mics. Push up the fader and say ‘Ahhh!’ With performance, reliability, and quality like this, we are sure you’ll agree that Mojave’s new Signature Series microphone is a New American Classic.

Product Overview
The Mojave MA-1000 large diaphragm tube condenser is the pinnacle of David Royer's tube mic designs. Using premium components like a NOS 5840 subminiature tube, custom Coast Magnetics transformer and a CK12-style capsule as used in the famed C 12 and ELA M 251 microphones, the MA-1000 is a remarkable vocal microphone that also shines on acoustic instruments, amplifiers and drum overheads. Switches for a bass rolloff and -15dB pad mean you can get the MA-1000 directly on top of any source, no matter how loud. Once it's in place, dial through the polar patterns to get as much or as little room sound as you desire while also subtly changing the frequency response of the mic. An unmistakable air and silk at the top end of the frequency response sits anything you record with the MA-1000 comfortably atop the entire mix, rarely needing any EQ to fit the track into the arrangement.
