The challenge? Create a transformerless microphone circuit without
the inherent problems found in transformerless microphones. TECHNICAL
GRAMMY® Award-winning microphone designer David Royer has
created a thoroughly modern microphone that rises to that challenge:
the new MA-50BLK. Designed to produce the clarity and realism that
Mojave microphones are known for, at an entry level price, the MA-50BLK
outperforms well-known transformerless mics costing many times
more.
The MA-50BLK is the perfect microphone for pros and semi-pros alike.
Utilizing the same single-sided capsule as the MA-200SN and MA-201VG, it handles
the fastest transients with ease – even up to 140 dB.
