“The MA-201fet is big and fat, and packs an extra midrange punch that sounds great on vocals, drums and guitars.” – Michael Wagener – Engineer: Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Skid Row, Extreme, King’s X
“An underpriced audio gem” – Pro Sound News
“The Mojave MA-201fet is obviously the perfect large-diaphragm condenser mic for the small budget studio and home recordist, but it’s also equally at home in our commercial studio. I’ve paid considerably more for mics that the MA-201 fet is equal to in design and specification, and yet some of these mics are not as suitable for multiple tasks like the Mojave is. Once again, Mojave has produced a winner.” – Tape Op
The MA-201fet is a large diaphragm, phantom-powered, solid-state condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid pattern. With its roots in a lineage of microphone designs by David Royer, the MA-201fet 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.
Utilising a 3-micron gold-sputtered capsule, high-quality Jensen audio transformer, military-grade FET and custom designed low-noise resistors, the MA-201fet performs at a level reminiscent of some of the best loved classic condenser microphones. Each MA-201fet microphone is carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case with a professional grade shockmount.
