Mojave MA-D Dynamic Mic Review / Test
Today I review the first dynamic mic from Mojave, the MA-D. This mic gives a very bright sound, but it handles that upper end very well. It also has a slightly pulled back midsection and a slight exageration in the bass and low mids which yields a V-shaped sound. As far as handheld dynamics go, it doesn't sound like any of the 17 other mics I compare it against.
