phones, Technical Grammy
David Royer has created a thoroughly modern tube microphone that
features an original new old-stock 5840 tube, 251-style capsule, and
custom designed transformer built by Coast Magnetics. The result? A
sweet, airy top end, ‘you-are-there’ realism in the mids and an accurate yet authoritative bottom end. The Signature Series has been
exhaustively field tested against microphones often costing $20K or
more – universally evoking the same ‘Wow’ response usually
reserved for only the most prized vintage mics. Push up the
fader and say ‘Ahhh!’ With performance, reliability, and
quality like this, we are sure you’ll agree that Mojave’s new
Signature Series microphone is a New American Classic.
