The impressive Mojave MA201 FET records some impressive acoustic guitar. It has a full, rich, and balanced character that shined through on both a clean Millennia mic preamp, as well as a more colored tube preamp from Sebatron. The MA-201 from Mojave Audio doesn't have the harshness associated with many of the large diaphragm mics currently being built, and proves here to provide detail, without that brassy top end, and instead has a full, rich and well-balanced character. Sound Pure carries the full line of Mojave microphones in addition to owning and using them in our own high end professional recording studios, so please don't hesitate to send us any question that you might have about them.

The Eastman AC520 boasts some of the finest sound and craftsmanship of any instrument in its price range. We are pretty amazed at the quality of the Eastman Flattop guitars overall. Eastman Guitars has the only luthiers in the biz (that we know of, anyway) that is producing all solid wood, handmade guitars in this price range. They perform like instruments that cost twice as much, and more. You don't expect wood binding on a guitar that sells in the $1k price range, do you? These handcrafted dreadnaughts are built using solid, select, highly figured tonewood backs and sides coupled with only the finest spruce tops, these X-Braced guitars are finished off with abalone soundhole rosettes and position markers, gold plated hardware, ebony headstock overlays, ebony fingerboards, ebony bridge pins, and multiple maple bindings on the body, neck and headstock. We are a proud dealer of Eastman Acoustic and Archtop Jazz Guitars here at Sound Pure and eagerly await your call or inquiry so we can tell you all about our experiences here with them. Give us a ring toll free at 888-528-9703.

The Sebatron VMP-series Tube microphone preamps are used to track acoustic guitars in a recording studio with a variety of microphones including Earthworks, Mojave, and Telefunken Microphones. While we use the Sebatron VMP4000e preamp, it utilized the identical tube pre circuitry as in the 2000e and 2000e VU mic preamps. Each preamp's impressive warmth is attainable without a loss in detail typical of most preamps. Additionally the preamp features some excellent EQ functionality, and the creative ability to drive the unit in different ways to move from transparent more subtle tube coloration to much greater saturation and color (by engaging the pad circuit which exists prior to the tube gain stage). We use and love the Sebatron mic preamps in the Sound Pure recording studios, and are glad to talk to you about all of our experiences. We can be reached toll free 888.528.9703, or international 919.682.5552.

From Mojave Audio

The MA-201fet is a large diaphragm, phantom-powered, solid-state condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid pattern. With its roots in a lineage of microphone designs by David Royer, the MA-201fet 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 a 3-micron gold-sputtered capsule, high-quality Jensen audio transformer, military-grade FET and custom designed low-noise resistors, the MA-20fet performs at a level reminiscent of some of the best loved classic condenser microphones. Each MA-201fet microphone is carefully tested and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case with a professional grade shockmount.

Features:

  • Hand-selected 3-micron 1" capsule
  • Jensen audio transformer
