Mojave Audio MA-1000 Multi-Pattern Tube Condenser Microphone – Desert Sand
Crafted by Technical Grammy Award winner David Royer, the Mojave Audio MA-1000 is a top-tier tube condenser microphone inspired by vintage classics but designed for modern performance.

Thoroughly field-tested, this Signature Series mic consistently impresses against high-end vintage models, offering professional-grade sound quality and reliability.
