Mojave Audio MA-100SP - Manual (Page 2)

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Mojave Audio MA-100 Vacuum Tube Capacitor
Microphone! Your MA-100 was carefully designed and constructed using only the finest
materials. The MA-100 microphone is capable of delivering superb performance and, with
minimal care, will do so for many years. Your MA-100 was thoroughly tested and given a
factory burn-in prior to shipment.
The MA-100’s capacitor capsule and electronics are adapted from mid-1950’s design practice.
By utilizing modern components, the microphone system emulates the performance of the
“classic” tube microphones without using esoteric, unreliable, or hard to find parts.
The MA-100 is guaranteed to perform as specified and is suitable for recording even the most
demanding music, provided that the microphone is used sensibly.
For optimum performance from your new microphone, please read this manual thoroughly and
become familiar with the proper use of the MA-100.
