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 head-
amplifier 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. The MA-301fet includes a 15dB pad and a bass cut switch.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
There are no user serviceable components inside the MA-301fet microphone. Always refer
service to a qualified technician equipped to service this equipment. Never expose the
MA-301fet microphone to water or any environment that may create an electrical hazard. In the
event of a malfunction, disconnect the MA-301fet immediately and determine the nature of the
malfunction before attempting to use it again.
To avoid tripping over the microphone cable, make certain that the cable is not in the way of foot
traffic, or suspended in an unsafe manner. Make sure that the microphone stand is secure and not
likely to fall.
If you have any questions or concerns about operation of your MA-301fet please contact the
factory:
OPERATION
When plugging the microphone in, the three-pin XLR connectors between the microphone and
the preamp should be inserted
gently
into their corresponding sockets. Rough handling,
misaligned orientation, or trying to force the connections together too quickly could result in
bent pins.
