Mojave MA-37

The MA-37 is David Royer's modern version of the classic Sony C-37a microphone, known for its large headroom and the ability to tame the sharpest high frequencies. The C-37a became an incredibly popular microphone in the golden Hollywood era in the 60s and remains an often well-chosen alternative to Neumann, AKG and similar in the same class.
