Boutique microphone manufacturer Mojave Audio has announced its first hand-held dynamic mic, the MA-D.
Designed by Technical Grammy Award Winner David Royer, the MA-D’s frequency response makes it able to do double duty on guitar and bass amplifiers, drums and brass, as well as a variety of vocal styles for live sound, recording, and broadcast applications. It has excellent off-axis rejection, an integrated pneumatic shockmount, and a built-in internal windscreen which gives it a focused performance with reduced handling noise and the ability to easily eliminate plosives. The MA-D includes a flexible mic clip and a zip bag.
‘When we set out to create our first dynamic microphone, we wanted to avoid the harsh presence peak that is common in a lot of well-known mics on the market and deliver a smoother-sounding alternative,’ says Mojave Audio President, Dusty Wakeman. ‘The MA-D has a rich, musical response that will make any vocalist happy, while working just as well on many other instruments in live miking situations. We’re proud to have a dynamic mic that we can put the Mojave name on.’
