Rivals Expensive Transformerless Mics

Create recordings with incredible realism and clarity with the Mojave Audio MA-50 large-diaphragm condenser microphone. The MA-50 delivers expensive-sounding performance, using the same capsule as Mojave's popular MA-200 and MA-201fet microphones, with a project-studio price tag. The simple, yet elegant MA-50 rivals transformerless microphones costing many times more. Featuring a fixed-cardioid polar pattern, fast transient response, and high SPL handling, the MA-50 captures vocals, acoustic instruments, drums, and more with low noise and excellent off-axis rejection, making it an ideal workhorse mic. The Mojave Audio MA-50 large-diaphragm condenser microphone yields results that will appeal to pros and semi-pros alike.

An expensive-sounding mic without the sticker shock

Combining transformerless circuitry with the same large-diaphragm cardioid 3-micron capsule as Mojave's acclaimed MA-200 and MA-201fet microphones, the MA-50 yields clear, realistic reproductions of vocals and instruments that rival (and outperform in some applications) classic mics costing many times more.

Versatile studio performance on vocals and instruments

When we ran the Mojave MA-50 through its paces here at Sweetwater, we were impressed by its flexibility. This microphone's low noise, combined with fast transient response and high SPL handling, makes it equally at home in vocal, voice-over, acoustic instrument, drum overhead, percussion, and Foley/ADR applications.

Mojave Audio MA-50 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone Features:

  • Uses the same capsule as Mojave's more costly offerings for expensive-sounding results
  • Transformerless circuitry delivers incredible realism and clarity
  • Fixed-cardioid polar pattern yields excellent off-axis noise rejection
  • Fast transient response captures drums beautifully
  • High SPL handling for recording guitar cabs and other loud sources
  • Includes shockmount and carrying case

Great Microphone

I've just started using the Mojave Audio MA-50 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone and it seems great. Good clean, transparent sound when used at an appropriate working distance. I find at greater distances room acoustics play into the sound a lot. So far recordings seem good, when at a working distance appropriate, for solo vocals. I haven't tried it in other configurations. Easy to set up and it comes with a shock mount, thread adapter, and case. It uses 48v phantom power as well. I use a Stedman Proscreen XL with the microphone and the combo seems good. I'm happy with my purchase.

One of the best mics I've ever used!!!

The MA-50 is the only microphone that sounds great on every voice. I have microphones ranging from $1000 - $9000 and even with my expensive mics I sometimes have to make changes. With the MA-50 I can leave it plugged up in the booth and just run session after session. You can use this mic on any genre of music and it will handle any range you throw at it. I will put the MA-50 against any microphone in the world and the MA-50 will hold it's own if not blow the other mics out of the water.

Absolutely Amazing!

I wanted to upgrade from my AKG P420 to a transformerless microphone. I was recommended this microphone by my audio engineer and it is just amazing! The difference between this microphone and my previous one is night and day! It is absolutely killer for vocals! I would highly recommend this microphone.

Beautiful mic

This mic is very quiet. I have another condenser mic around the same price that was plugged up to my preamp and I could hear the background noise but as soon as I plugged up the MA50 I didn't hear the background noise and it was still recording at the same level as the other mic I had plugged up. Vocals sound great very natural with no color added. My preamp did add color but using my interface that doesn't add color was a wonderful clear clean signal. I record rap vocals and this mic can hold a range of different genres. This mic is a little heavier but all and all this mic is really nice with a very nice simple and bold look.
