Royer Works His Magic on a Condenser Mic!

David Royer is known worldwide for his modern ribbon microphone designs. But years before Royer Labs opened, David designed and built custom vacuum tube condenser microphones for Los Angeles engineers and recording studios. His early mics were used on many hit recordings and, for engineers who know about them, they are highly prized possessions. David started a custom mic shop, Mojave Audio, and now Mojave has released the MA-200 tube condenser mic. And it's a beauty!

A modern condenser mic with classic characteristics

The MA-200 is the culmination of Royer's 20-plus years of custom microphone design. The large-diaphragm MA-200 gives warm, full-bodied reproductions of vocals and instruments without the shrillness and high-frequency grunge so often encountered with modern condenser microphones.

Versatile studio performance on vocals and instruments

Try the MA-200 on lead and background vocals, voice-overs, piano, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, orchestra, spot miking... You'll agree with the engineers who tested this mic that it evokes the characteristics of some of the best-loved vintage European microphones.

Precision construction with quality components

In a world of cookie-cutter imported mics, the MA-200 is a breath of fresh air. Using hand-selected 3-micron gold-sputtered capsules, Jensen audio transformers, and military-grade JAN 5840 vacuum tubes, Royer designed the MA-200 with an eye on premium performance.

Mojave Audio MA-200 Tube Condenser Mic Features:

  • Large-diaphragm tube condenser mic
  • Full, warm reproduction for vocals, piano, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, orchestra, and spot miking
  • Hand-selected 3-micron gold-sputtered capsule
  • Jensen audio transformers
  • Military-grade JAN 5840 vacuum tubes
  • Frequency response 30Hz-18kHz, +/-2.5dB
  • Carry case, power supply, shock mount, and cables included

Rated 5/5

Depth and clarity

I'm a vocalist, singer/songwriter and prior to adding this mic into my line up, the Neuman TLM 103 was my workhorse. However, using these side by side, the texture, depth and clarity I get in tracking vocals with the 200 is very apparent against the TLM 103. My singing range is between a tenor and alto, and I've sung background for artist from Gospel to Rnb and Country. And before I forget, this thing made my acoustic sound so intimate with how it captured plucking and strumming. This is definitely my secret sauce for vocals and acoustics now.

Beautifully Balanced Sound

I absolutely love my Mojave MA-200. Delivers smooth clean airy sound and of course the warmth of the tube component. I use it for production, narration, vocals, and some instrumentation... and it is a champ in all of those departments. With this acquisition I now own 10 microphones which include the Neumann TLM 103 and Lewitt LCT 440. This Mojave model is in my top 3 favorites. In addition to its great sound, it is also sturdy and aesthetically gorgeous. Consider this one for your sound locker. Even at around $ the Mojave MA-200 is a spectacular value. I would expect to pay more for a microphone of this caliber. This one is a keeper!
Rated 5/5

Nice sound!

I've been using this mic on vocals, amp cabs and acoutic guitars! This out performs and sounds better than my Shure Condensors, older EV and AT mics. Just what I needed! My Sales Engineer, Jed, is TOP NOTCH!!
Rated 5/5

Been down the microphone rabbit hole. No more!

This microphone was suggested to me years ago by a Sweetwater salesman. I just thought it was another disappointment.
I have owned microphones that are more than twice the price. This microphone was just right not grainy or too thin or fat in the low end.
Extremely detailed and smooth. You won't have to over-sing because the detail is there.

Out Performs Mics 3x its price

I heard good things about Mojave but was reluctant to buy the MA-200 because I didn't think a mic this cheap would sound so good. Glad I pulled the trigger and yeah, I was totally wrong. The MA-200 has a warmth and presence that mics costing 3x to 5x more possess and even then, I'm not sure they are all that much "better". I'm talking about Neumann, Audio Technica, and Manley mics here which I have used and love but the MA-200 simply holds its own with all of those.

When I purchased the MA-200 in 2017, I was expecting to pull this mic out now and then but the first time I heard it, I knew it was staying up. Five years later and the mic has not moved. It is used for vocals and acoustic guitars on every single session and I don't see it being replaced any time soon. Whats the point?

So if you`re looking for an excellent mic that provides warmth and presence and you don't have or want to spend thousands of dollars, get the MA-200. Its truly beautiful what Mojave has done with this mic.
