MOJAVE MA-300

VINTAGE TUBE WARMTH. MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY.

When TECHNICAL GRAMMY® Award‑winner David Royer took the trusted MA‑200 as his starting point to create the MA‑300, he added new features that give you the lush, tube-driven tone you love, with added adaptability.

Mix Magazine praises its “rich, warm tone and sonic flexibility,” while Everything Audio Network dubs it “a modern microphone classic…you will want multiples in your mic cabinet.” Recording legend Steve Genewick of Capitol Studios fame uses multiple MA‑300s. He told ProSoundWeb he wouldn’t hesitate to reach for them “anywhere I would traditionally use a Neumann U67.”
