Mojave Audio has introduced the MA-301fet, a solid-state, large-diaphragm condenser microphone with a hand-selected, 3-micron thick, 1-inch (diameter) gold sputtered capsule.
Based upon the MA-201fet designed by company founder David Royer, the MA-301fet’s multi-pattern capabilities - cardioid, omnidiectional, and figure-eight (bi-directional) - makes it well suited for numerous applications, including vocals, voice over and broadcast, electric guitar, piano, acoustic instruments, both drum overheads and room mics (drum ambience), and high SPL sources such as kick drums and bass guitar amps.
It also includes a 3-position pickup pattern selector, a 15 dB pad, and a switchable bass roll-off.
The microphone’s warm, military grade FET circuitry, Jensen transformer, and custom designed low-noise resistors combine to deliver a clean signal path with low noise and performance reminiscent of classic condenser microphones.
“The new MA-301fet draws upon the success of our MA-201fet and adds a number of features that many recording engineers have been asking for,” states Mojave Audio president Dusty Wakeman. “With the addition of multi-pattern capability as well as the switchable 15 dB pad and switchable bass roll-off, this new microphone is an incredibly versatile recording tool that, I’m confident, will find a home in a wide range of environments.”
With a MSRP of $895, the Mojave Audio MA-301fet is expected to be available in February 2012.
