The MA-200 is
a large diaphragm, vacuum tube condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid
pattern. Born to a lineage of fine microphone designs
by David Royer, the MA-200 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.
Utilizing hand-selected 3-micron capsules, high-quality Jensen audio
transformers and military-grade JAN 5840 vacuum tubes, the MA-200 performs
at a level reminiscent of some of the best loved classic condenser microphones.
The MA-200 power supply can be set for 115V and 230V, 50 or 60 Hz, through
an internal switch (100V is also available). Each MA-200 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.
Features:
- Hand-selected 3-micron capsule
- Jensen audio transformer
