INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Mojave Audio MA-50 Solid State Capacitor Microphone! 
Your MA-50 was carefully designed and constructed using only the finest materials. The MA-50 
microphone is capable of delivering superb performance and, with minimal care, will do so for 
many years. Your MA-50 was thoroughly tested and given a factory burn-in prior to shipment.

The  MA-50  is  guaranteed  to  perform  as  specified  and  is  suitable  for  recording  even  the  most 
demanding music, provided that the microphone is used sensibly.

For optimum performance from your new microphone, please read this manual thoroughly and 
become familiar with the proper use of the MA-50.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION

Carefully unpack your MA-50 microphone and verify that all of the components included with 
the microphone are accounted for. Do not discard any packing materials! If anything is missing 
or damaged, contact your dealer or Mojave Audio immediately.

Items included with the MA-50 are:

1. MA-50 microphone inside an aluminum style carrying case

2. MA-50 shock mount and European adapter (fitted to shock mount)

Verify that the serial number of your MA-50

 

matches correctly with the one on your receipt. The 

MA-50 serial number can be found 

 

inside the microphone housing. To access, simply unscrew 

the  bottom  ring  and  slide  the  body  off.  When  corresponding  with  Mojave  Audio  about  your 
microphone  or  when  service  is  required,  we  will  need  to  know  the  serial  number,  so  keep  it 
handy.
