Mojave AudioMA-301fetVG Large-Diaphragm Multipattern Condenser Microphone - Vintage Gray
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Mojave Audio’s MA-301fetVG is a large-diaphragm, solid-state condenser built around a double-diaphragm, 3-micron gold-sputtered capsule. Select omni, cardioid, or figure-8 pickup patterns, then use the 15 dB pad and switchable bass roll-off to configure the microphone for the source at hand. Its Jensen transformer-balanced output and included shockmount make it a complete studio microphone package, with a protective case for carrying it between sessions.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio sessions that benefit from selecting omni, cardioid, or figure-8 pickup patterns.
- Capturing higher-SPL sources where engaging the 15 dB pad raises maximum SPL handling to 135 dB.
- Microphone setups that need a switchable bass roll-off below 100 Hz.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups without 48 VDC phantom power.
