The MA-37 Multi-Pattern Large-Diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone from Mojave is a modern recreation of the venerable Sony C-37a, a studio workhorse mic popular in Hollywood studios from the 1960's, including Capital Records and Sunset Sound. Designed by David Royer, the MA-37 keeps the same single-diaphragm design from the original and employs an EF86 tube and Lundahl transformer to give the mic it's characteristically warm, natural sound. A mechanical switch on the mic allows you to toggle between cardioid and omnidirectional pickup patterns, giving the mic added versatility in the studio.

Q: 4. I noted that this microphone has 5 pins but my audio recorders are both 3-pin (Marantz PMD661 and Zoom H6). Can I purchase an adapter cable? This may be dumb question. I'm new to this aspect of recording, and I can't seem to find a definitive answer on any website.

A: Three reasons I bought the NT4 is that it comes with a five pin adapter to two three pin plugs, also a five pin adapter to 3.5mm audio adapter and it can be run off an internal 9 volt battery. None of my digital recorders supply Phantom Power . The audio level at analog output is more than sufficient to connect to my Sony PCM-D50.
