About Golden Age Project FC 4

When recording precision audio is paramount, the Golden Age Project FC 4 Small-Capsule Condenser Microphone stands out as a professional-grade tool designed for discerning audio engineers and recording artists. Drawing inspiration from iconic microphone models, the FC 4 is engineered with a 20 mm, 3 um gold-sputtered, low-distortion dual capsule that ensures high-quality sound capture with minimal noise interference. The microphone's discrete Class-A electronics contribute to its clear, transparent sound profile, while the robust heavy-duty brass body enhances durability, ensuring reliable performance session after session.

The FC 4 is equipped with an externally switched high-pass filter and pad, offering additional control and adaptability to various recording environments. Its wide frequency response and expansive dynamic range make it a versatile choice for a multitude of audio applications, from studio recordings to live stage performances and broadcast scenarios.

Tailored for capturing the subtle details of vocal and instrumental performances, the cardioid polar pattern of the FC 4 excels in isolating sound sources in front of the microphone while rejecting unwanted noise from the rear. This makes it an ideal choice for recording choirs, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and other stringed instruments with exceptional clarity. Furthermore, its prowess as a drum overhead for high hats or as a room microphone underscores its adaptability in capturing both the nuance of individual instruments and the ambiance of larger spaces.

Whether you're miking a delicate acoustic set or a dynamic choir ensemble, the Golden Age Project FC 4 Small-Capsule Condenser Microphone with Shock Mount is a reliable and high-quality choice that delivers professional audio capture with every use.
