When TECHNICAL GRAMMY® Award‑winner David Royer took the trusted MA‑200 as his starting point to create the MA‑300, he added new features that give you the lush, tube-driven tone you love, with added adaptability.

Mix Magazine praises its “rich, warm tone and sonic flexibility,” while Everything Audio Network dubs it “a modern microphone classic…you will want multiples in your mic cabinet.” Recording legend Steve Genewick of Capitol Studios fame uses multiple MA‑300s. He told ProSoundWeb he wouldn’t hesitate to reach for them “anywhere I would traditionally use a Neumann U67.”

MA-300SN

The MA-300SN is a multi-pattern large diaphragm, vacuum tube condenser microphone. Based upon the widely accepted MA-200 designed by David Royer, the MA-300SN adds a continuously variable pickup pattern selector, 15dB pad, and a switchable bass roll-off. The MA-300SN gives warm, full-bodied reproductions of vocals and instruments, with none of the shrillness and high-frequency distortion artifacts that are often encountered with modern condenser microphones.

Utilizing hand-selected, dual-diaphragm 3-micron capsules, high-quality Jensen audio transformers, and military-grade JAN 5840 vacuum tubes, the MA-300 performs at a level reminiscent of some of the best-loved classic condenser microphones. The MA-300 power supply can be set for 115V and 230V, 50 or 60 Hz, through an internal switch (100V is also available). Each MA-300 microphone, power supply, and cable set is burned in for 24 hours, carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case-within-a-case.
