Enter to win a Mojave MA-300 Microphone

by | Oct 7, 2021 | Best Studio Mics


We’re looking for a killer artist to win and test out the Mojave MA-300. Need an awesome new tool for your mic locker? Enter below!

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.

Here’s the deal: we’re looking for a great artist to win and demo the Mojave MA-300 for us. The winner will get a new mic to keep, and will work with us to shoot some product demos and behind-the-scenes videos that we’ll share on our site and social media channels (WATCH an example of our past winner, Jesus Martinez, using his new MA-200 in Los Angeles). Cool, huh! PLUS we’ll add your track to a year-end digital sampler on Bandcamp.

Entrants must be from the Continental United States. One winner will be selected to receive a Mojave MA-300SN microphone and we’ll announce the selected artist no later than two weeks after entries close. DEADLINE to enter is November 1, 2021. Please note that we will not share, rent or sell your data. Good luck!
