Small-diaphragm, solid-state condenser microphone with interchangeable cardioid and omnidirectional capsules
Mojave MA-101FET
Small-diaphragm, solid-state condenser microphone with interchangeable cardioid and omnidirectional capsules
Why choose a small diaphragm microphone? Because small diaphragm microphones offer some distinct advantages over their larger brethren:
- More consistent polar pattern* Better transient response
- Ease of placement
Why choose an MA-101FET?
Extended low-frequency response
High SPL handling capability try putting your large-diaphragm mic on a snare drum!
Interchangeable cardioid and omnidirectional capsules
Hand selected 3-micron capsule
Jensen audio transformer
Military-grade FET and custom-designed low-noise resistors
External switchable power supply voltage
Ultra clean signal path
High SPL handling capability
Recommended applications:
- Acoustic Instruments
- Location Recording
- High SPL sources, such as Kick Drums and Bass Guitar Amps
- Electric Guitars
- Piano
- Snare Drums, Toms, Drum Overheads
