Mojave Audio MA-201fet Review / Test

Today I review a microphone from David Royer, the Mojave MA-201fet. This thing offers a hefty low-end and a really smooth detailed and articulate top end. It does tend to suffer from plosives and pick up a lot of background noise, but the off-axis coloration is beautiful! Another thing to take note of is the Max SPL of 125dB.
