Product Details
  • MA-301fetVG

    The MA-301fetVG is a multi-pattern large diaphragm, solid-state condenser microphone. Based upon the popular MA-201fetVG designed by David Royer, the MA-301fetVG adds a 3-position pickup pattern selector, a 15dB pad, and a switchable bass roll-off.

    Utilizing a 3-micron gold-sputtered duel-diaphragm capsule, high-quality Jensen audio transformer, military-grade FET, and custom-designed low-noise resistors, the MA-301fetVG performs at a level reminiscent of some of the best-loved classic condenser microphones. Each MA-301fetVG microphone is carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case with a professional grade shockmount.
