Mojave Audio MA-100-SP
Matched Stereo Pair of MA-100 Small Diaphragm Tube Condenser Mics

MA-100-SP

The MA-100 is a small diaphragm, vacuum tube condenser microphone with interchangeable cardioid and omnidirectional capsules. The MA-100's "cathode follower" design allows use on high SPL instruments such as drums and guitar amplifiers, as well as the more common applications of a small diaphragm, vacuum tube condenser microphone: acoustic instruments, cymbals, stereo pairs and pianos.

Featuring hand-selected 3 micron capsules, high-quality Jensen audio transformers and military-grade JAN 5840 vacuum tubes, the MA-100 performs at a level reminiscent of classic small diaphragm tube condenser microphones.  The MA-100 power supply can be set for either 115v or 230v via an external switch.  Each MA-100 microphone, power supply and cable set is burned in for 24 hours, carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case.

Some of the distinct advantages a small diaphragm has over its larger brethren include a more consistent polar pattern, better transient response and ease of placement.  The MA-100 also offers extended low-frequency response and high SPL handling capability.
