Mojave Audio | Classic Microphone Designs Reimagined

Founded by Technical Grammy Award winner David Royer and former Mad Dog Studios owner Dusty Wakeman, Mojave Audio represents a unique collaboration between two industry legends. Mojave Audio specializes in large diaphragm condenser microphones – each one representing David Royer’s elevated reimagining of classic microphone designs.

Mojave microphones are more than clones or homages. They blend a legacy of musical excellence with contemporary design and technology. These are modern workhorse microphones that excel in nearly every application. Each microphone in the Mojave lineup serves as a specific tool, designed to capture unique sonic characteristics while maintaining the musical integrity that defines the Mojave sound.

Join us as we explore the complete lineup of Mojave Audio microphones available at Providence Sound and Vision with a 30-day money-back guarantee. 

Exploring the Mojave Audio Microphone Lineup

Mojave’s MA-50 is a transformerless FET condenser that delivers clarity and character without the harshness commonly found in microphones of the same price point.⁠

The MA-50 offers dimensional realism and high-end polish typically reserved for much more expensive microphones. It instantly elevates any home recording setup to ⁠professional levels and makes an excellent addition to any studio’s mic locker.⁠

Recommended for: Broadcast-quality voiceovers, loud vocals, home recording applications

The MA-D represents the evolution of handheld dynamics for modern live sound. While the classic SM58 was designed with a presence peak for inferior PA systems, today’s advanced setups demand better. The MA-D delivers all the reliability of the beloved 58 without the biting presence peak—offering full-range richness and musicality rarely achieved in handheld dynamics. 

The MA-D is also available as a Wireless Head attachment for Shure wireless systems, offering an instant upgrade to sound quality at performance venues.

Recommended for: Live vocal performances

The MA-201fet delivers David Royer’s signature full-bodied sound with exceptional clarity. Its faster transient response brings out high-end detail while maintaining realism without harshness. Anywhere you’d traditionally reach for a U87-style microphone, the 201fet excels. It’s earned a must-have spot in the arsenal of top Front of House engineers for Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, and Megadeth, to name a few.

The MA-301fet offers the MA-201fet’s sonic excellence with switchable polar patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-of-eight), plus a 15dB pad and bass roll-off. This versatility allows precise matching to any source and recording environment. 

Recommended for: Vocals, drum overheads, piano, live sound

The MA-200 is David Royer’s modern interpretation of the legendary U67. This vacuum tube design offers full-bodied warmth with a round, pleasant top end. Engineers consistently praise its incredible clarity and ability to capture true voice representation without additional processing. It consistently wins blind shootouts against vintage U67s at a fraction of their cost.

The MA-300 adds switchable polar patterns, a 15dB pad, and bass roll-off to the 200’s signature tube sound. It’s exceptional for full bands, choirs, and orchestras where you need both warmth and pattern flexibility.

Recommended for: Vocals, drums, strings, brass, keys, orchestral recording

The MA-1000 is considered by many to be the ultimate 251-style vocal microphone. It boasts airy detail up top, lush midrange, and authoritative low end that helps vocals stand atop any mix. The continuously variable polar pattern allows seamless adjustment from omnidirectional to figure-eight. Whether capturing solo performances or full orchestras, it effortlessly renders vocals, keys, strings, and drums with remarkable beauty.

With its included Slingshock mount and premium components, the MA-1000 represents the pinnacle of David Royer’s condenser microphone design.

Recommended for: Vocals, orchestral recording, keys, strings, drums

Winner of the NAMM 2023 TEC Award for best recording microphone, the MA-37 is a flavorful reimagining of the rare Sony C37a. Its dark, rich sound is more akin to a ribbon microphone than a traditional condenser. The adjustable tuned acoustic chamber provides a unique mechanical approach to switching between cardioid and omnidirectional patterns. In practice, the MA-37 offers dark, warm tone that excels on vocals, kick drum, strings, guitar cabinets, and any bright source requiring sonic soothing. This microphone delivers vintage vibe—thick, rich, and bold—balanced by a creamy smooth top end.

Recommended for: Vocals, kick drum, strings, electric guitar, bright sources
