Mojave MA-D

Designed initially to be a hand-held microphone for vocalists, the MA-D does double duty on all types of instruments.

After years of intensive research, we have finally designed a dynamic microphone we could put the Mojave name on. Designed by Technical Grammy Award Winner David Royer, we proudly introduce the Mojave MA-D Cardioid Dynamic. While there are many well-known dynamic mics on the market, most of which are known for their “presence peak”, we set out to design the Smooth Alternative. The MA-D delivers a full frequency response without the harshness common to most common dynamics, creating the richness and musicality we set out to capture.

MA-D Features

Dynamic Microphone

David Royer’s first dynamic microphone design

Fixed Cardioid Pattern

Fixed cardioid polar pattern. Excellent feedback rejection.

Transformerless

Like most other handheld dynamic microphones, the MA-D features a transformerless design.

  • Smooth Frequency Response – richer tone, higher gain before feedback
  • Uniform Cardioid (Unidirectional) Pickup Pattern
  • Excellent Off-Axis Rejection
  • Integrated Pneumatic Shock-mount – to reduce handling noise
  • Built-in Internal Windscreen – eliminates plosives – those annoying P-pops!
  • Flexible Mic Clip
  • Zippered Bag Included
