Enter to win a Mojave MA-50 Microphone

by | Jul 12, 2021 | Best Studio Mics

We’re looking for a killer artist to win and test out the Mojave MA-50. Need an awesome new tool for your mic locker? Enter below!

Designed to produce the clarity and realism that Mojave microphones are known for, at an entry level price, the MA-50BLK (black version) outperforms well-known transformerless mics costing many times more. The MA-50BLK is the perfect microphone for pros and semi-pros alike. Utilizing the same single-sided capsule as the MA-200SN and MA-201VG, it handles the fastest transients with ease – even up to 140 dB.

Here’s the deal: we’re looking for a great artist to win and demo the Mojave MA-50 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). You’ll also be featured in an upcoming print issue of Performer. 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-301fet microphone and we’ll announce the selected artist no later than two weeks after entries close. DEADLINE to enter is August 13, 2021. Please note that we will not share, rent or sell your data. Good luck!
