The Mojave Audio MA-101fet is a
small diaphragm, solid-state condenser microphone with interchangeable
cardioid and omnidirectional capsules. Designed by renowned microphone
designer David Royer, the MA101fet combines the features of two of
Mojave Audio's popular models - the cardioid and omnidirectional
capsules from the MA-100 with the electronics from the MA-201fet. New to
the MA-101fet is an internally switchable -15dB pad, increasing the
headroom to an ear shattering 135dB SPL. This makes the MA-101fet
suitable for everything from capturing the subtle nuances of acoustic
instruments to the loudest of electric guitars and drums - great for
location recording, too.
Featuring hand selected, 3-micron cardioid and omni capsules, a high
quality Jensen audio transformer and military-grade FET and custom
designed low noise resistors; the MA-101fet is designed to offer
excellent performance for a wide variety of applications. Each MA-101fet
microphone is carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its
protective case.
