Since the Golden Age FC 4 MC is such an amazing value, our advice is to stock up!The Golden Age Project The Golden Age Project was founded in 2005 on the belief that vintage gear sounds best and on the desire to pass on this sonic legacy to a new generation of musicians, engineers, and producers. All-discrete, Class A signal paths with no integrated circuits; the use of transformers, stepped controls, and military-grade build quality: these are the cornerstones of the legendary British equipment deployed in world-class recording and broadcast studios in the 1970s — the Golden Age of analog. Fat, warm, punchy, and authoritative — this is the sound heard on countless hits for nigh unto half a century. Locating, purchasing, restoring, and maintaining vintage gear is time-consuming and costly. Fortunately, this small, family-owned Swedish company makes gear the same way it was made back in the day — at an amazingly gentle price. A distributor of high-end studio equipment for many years, Golden Age Project founder, Bo Medin, wanted to be able to offer products with much of the same exclusive sound in a price range that made them available to a larger audience. Inspired by original designs, Golden Age uses modern technology to re-create that lush, opulent sound, making it surprisingly affordable. They use some modern ingenuity to add new functionality to superb classic designs and produce them in a cost-effective way, which allows them to be both optimized and affordable. From outboard equipment to condenser, dynamic, and ribbon mics, you can outfit your entire studio with vintage-inspired Golden Age gear without exceeding your budget.Golden Age FC 4 MC Small-diaphragm Condenser Mic Features: True condenser mic with interchangeable cardioid, hypercardioid, and omnidirectional heads Interchangeable heads with gold-sputtered, internally shockmounted dual capsules Low-noise FET first-stage amplification Discrete Class A electronics and transformerless, balanced output stage External switches for highpass filter and 10dB pad Attractive, heavy-duty brass mic body Frequency range: 20Hz–20kHz Equivalent noise level: 17dB, A-weighted Maximum SPL: 140dB; THD: <1% Impedance: 250 ohms; load impedance: 1,000 ohms Sensitivity: 14.5mV/Pa Operating current consumption: 3mA Operating voltage: 48 volts (requires phantom power) Output connector: gold-plated XLR Shockmount included SpecificationDetail Microphone Type Condenser Polar Pattern Cardioid, Hypercardioid, Omnidirectional Diaphragm Size 0.79" (20mm) Frequency Range 20Hz-20kHz Max SPL 140 dB SPL (1kHz at 1% THD, 1 Kohm) Output Impedance 250 ohms Self Noise Sensitivity 14.5mV/Pa (-37dB) Low Cut Filter Highpass Filter Pads -10dB Connector XLR Power Source 48V phantom power Dimensions 0.86" x 5.9" Weight 1.03 lbs.
