A Multi-pattern Version of a FET Favorite!

The Mojave MA-301fet condenser microphone takes the design of the acclaimed MA-201 fet microphone to the next level by giving you three selectable polar patterns, a low-cut filter, and a 15dB pad for incredible recording flexibility. It's a versatile alternative that captures warm, full-bodied sound when used on a variety of sound sources. The MA-301fet incorporates a 3-micron gold-sputtered capsule, a high-quality Jensen audio transformer, military-grade FET, and custom designed low-noise resistors for performance that rivals some of the most popular classic condenser mics from the past. The Mojave MA-301fet condenser microphone is sure to be a classic!

Mojave Audio MA-301fet Condenser Microphone at a Glance:
  • Solid-state version of the MA-200
  • Impressive technical aspects
  • Multiple polar patterns

Solid-state version of the MA-200
The MA-301fet 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-301fet 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.

Technical aspects
Utilizing a 3-micron gold-sputtered capsule, high-quality Jensen audio transformer, military-grade FET and custom designed low-noise resistors, the MA-301fet performs at a level reminiscent of some of the best loved classic condenser microphones. Each MA-301fet microphone is carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case with a professional grade shockmount.

Multiple polar patterns
The MA-301fet is perfect for any number of studio applications, thanks to multiple polar patterns as well as a low-cut filter and a 15dB pad. From vocals to voiceover work to more raucous sources such as kick drums and bass or guitar cabinets, the MA-301fet easily handles it all. A pair work well parked over a drum kit as overheads. And of course, the MA-301fet shines on acoustic instruments and piano, as well.

Mojave Audio MA-301fet Condenser Microphone Features:
  • Multi-pattern FET condenser microphone
  • Jensen audio transformer sports excellent sonic quality
  • Ultra clean signal path
  • Omni, Cardioid, and Figure-8 polar patterns
  • Low-cut filter helps remove low-end rumble for better-defined recordings
  • 15dB pad allows you to record very loud sources without distortion

Another instant classic from Mojave Audio with the MA-301fet!

Great Mic

by Kevin Proctor from Seattle, WA

This mic is awesome. A great utility mic if youre not in the range to buy a muc more expensive one. This mic has been especially great for me on louder rock female vocals and in front of the kick an... read more [+]d guitar cab. It doesnt have quite enough natural low end without EQ for a male vocal, but quite a bit for being a small capsule size. Being a FET, it has quite a bit of clarity but still can take a lot of SPL's. Im super happy with my purchase and will use it on something every session. close [-]

Excellent Microphone Along With Excellent Customer Service

by Steven from Beltsville, MD USA

Music Background:
This mic is simply excellent. I primarily use it on vocals but eventually I will probably mic up various instruments with it. I have done shootouts with a few different mics and this one is the smooth... read more [+]est by far. Very nice low end, very warm mids and smooth highs that are not harsh. The best thing about this mic is the 3 polar patterns, roll-off, and the 15 dB pad. Great flexibility and If you're recording in a not so perfect room, these settings well help accommodate that and get rid of unwanted mud and lower sounds. All in all, it handles vocals extremely well.

The mic I ordered had a small issue (which I believe is very uncommon to be clear) where a piece inside was moving around. It didn't affect sound quality at all but I just was nervous about it. Contacted my rep and with zero hassle, they sent me a new one and took the other one back and it's totally solid. This kind of service was incredible to me and I greatly recommend Mojave mics to any semi-pro or full on professional. close [-]

So I was looking for a mic to take my vocal recordings to the next level. I own a Shure SM7B which does well in certain applications but had to EQ a lot for my voice to get rid of the the mud and boo... read more [+]my low end sound. Needed a mic that shined a bit more in the high end and sat better in the mix without the need for much EQ. This mic was the answer. Makes a vocalist and mixing engineer's job much easier! Great Product. Thanks to Ryan at sweetwater for the recommendation. close [-]

I have yet to find a sound source that the Ma 301 hasn't sounded good on. I use it on everything I can! It's truly a great workhorse microphone.
