The MA-200 is a large diaphragm, vacuum tube condenser microphone
with a fixed cardioid pattern. Born to a lineage of fine microphone
designs by David Royer, the MA-200 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 hand-selected 3-micron capsules, high-quality Jensen
audio transformers and military-grade JAN 5840 vacuum tubes,
the MA-200 performs at a level reminiscent of some of the best
loved classic condenser microphones. The MA-200 power supply
can be set for 115V and 230V, 50 or 60 Hz, through an internal
switch (100V is also available). Each MA-200 microphone, power
supply and cable set is burned in for 24 hours, carefully tested
and evaluated, then packaged in its protective case-within-a-case.
