When TECHNICAL GRAMMY® Award-winner David Royer set out to honor the ELAM 251 and C12 lineage, he didn’t copy those classic mics. He elevated them. The result is Mojave Audio’s flagship microphone, re-engineered with the best components and David Royer’s genius circuit design.
The result? Airy, “you‑are‑there” detail up top, lush intimacy in the mids, and a bottom end that’s accurate and authoritative. The MA-1000 excels in lead vocals, orchestral recording, and piano.
Mix Magazine calls it “a world-class studio microphone with no compromises…an audio gem,” while Everything Audio Network dubs it “a vintage-modern masterpiece.”
