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. made, military-grade, low noise fet (field effect transistor) and a
Jensen audio output transformer. By utilizing modern components, the microphone system
emulates the performance of “classic” solid-state microphones without using esoteric, unreliable,
or hard to find components.
The MA-301fet 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 microphone, please read this manual thoroughly and
familiarize yourself with the proper use of the MA-301fet.
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Carefully unpack your MA-301fet and verify that all of the accessories included with the
microphone are accounted for. Do not discard any packing materials! If anything is missing or
damaged, contact your dealer or Mojave Audio immediately.
Items included with the MA-301fet are:
1. MA-301fet microphone inside an aluminum style carrying case.
2. MA-301fet shock mount and European adapter (fitted to shock mount).
3. AC power cable for power supply - molded IEC business machine type with plug.
4. Rugged carrying case for all above items.
Verify that the serial number of your MA-301fet matches correctly with the one on your receipt.
The MA-#00 serial number can be found on the transformer cover inside the microphone
