INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a Mojave Audio MA-301fet Multi-pattern Vacuum Tube Condenser Microphone. Your MA-301fet was carefully designed and constructed using only the finest materials. The MA-301fet microphone is capable of delivering superb performance and, with minimal care, will do so for many years. Your MA-301fet was thoroughly tested and given a 24-hour factory burn in prior to shipment. The MA-301fet utilizes a U.S.
GENERAL INFORMATION The MA-301fet is a multi-pattern solid-state microphone and requires 48volt phantom power for operation. The capsule is a 3-micron, dual membrane gold-sputtered type. The solid-state headamplifier delivers wide bandwidth and low noise operation. The MA-301fet utilizes a fet (field effect transistor). A specially designed, high-quality Jensen audio output transformer delivers an isolated, truly balanced output signal, minimizing the possibility of unwanted noise entering the preamplifier.
CARE OF YOUR MICROPHONE Your microphone is a delicate precision instrument and it should be treated as such. Here are some commonsense rules to keep your microphone healthy. 1. Be careful in your setup so that the microphone never falls to the floor. Never suspend the microphone by its cable, and be sure to position the cable so that it cannot be tripped over. Falls to the floor have been the ruin of many a microphone. 2.
