MOJAVE MA-50

TRANSORMERLESS, WITH SOUL

The MA-50 solves a classic design dilemma with uncommon elegance: How do you build a transformerless FET condenser that delivers clarity and presence without veering into the harsh sound that plagues many of its peers?

Leave it to David Royer, the TECHNICAL GRAMMY®-winning designer behind Mojave’s beloved microphone line, to rewrite the rules. The MA-50 is modern and meticulously voiced, offering dimensional realism and high-end polish.

Perfect for Voiceover, Broadcast + Podcasting, Home Studio Recording.
