Mojave Audio is celebrating its 20-year anniversary by rolling back the price of its MA-200 microphone to its original 2005 price. Only 50 units are available, and once they're sold out, the pricing returns to normal. Each special edition mic comes with an anniversary case and a signed certificate of authenticity from David Royer.

The MA-200 is a large diaphragm, vacuum tube condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid pattern. The most recent in a lineage of micro- phone designs by David Royer, the MA-200 gives warm, full-bodied reproductions of vocals and instruments, with none of the shrillness and high frequency distortion artifacts that are often encountered with modern condenser microphones.

Utilizing hand-selected 3-micron capsules, high-quality Jensen audio transformers and military-grade JAN 5840 vacuum tubes, the MA-200 performs at a level reminiscent of some of the best loved classic condenser microphones. The MA-200 power supply can be set for 115V and 230V, 50 or 60 Hz, through an internal switch (100V is also available). Each MA-200 microphone, power supply and cable set is burned in for 24 hours, carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case-within-a-case.
