($995)
Packing three micron capsules, Jensen audio transformers, and military-grade JAN 5840 tubes, the, until recently, scarcely available MA-200 has now been properly unleashed on the public. Using a one-inch gold sputtered capsule in conjunction with the 5840 and the Jensen transformer, and a competitive price, the MA-200 is a great addition to the upper/mid-level studio mic locker. And with its cardioid polar pattern it’s perfect, for everything from spot-miking to piano.
