About Golden Age Project FC 4 ST

Because precision and quality are paramount in audio recording, the Golden Age Project FC 4 ST stands out as a superior choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike. This matched pair of small-capsule condenser microphones is meticulously crafted to capture sound with clarity and detail. Drawing inspiration from iconic microphone models, the FC 4 ST microphones are engineered to perform within a tight 1 dB variance, ensuring balanced stereo recordings and consistent audio capture in mono applications.

Each microphone in this pair boasts a 20 mm, 3 um gold-sputtered diaphragm, designed to minimize distortion and enhance the fidelity of your recordings. The dual-capsule construction is complemented by discrete Class-A electronics, which contribute to the transparent sound signature and broad dynamic range that the FC 4 ST is known for. The robust heavy-duty brass body of each microphone not only adds to the durability but also lends a professional aesthetic to your recording setup.

The versatility of the FC 4 ST is further enhanced by the inclusion of an externally switched high-pass filter and pad, allowing you to tailor the microphones to various recording situations. Whether you're capturing the subtle nuances of a choir, the intricate tones of acoustic guitars, or the vibrant energy of electric guitars and other stringed instruments, these microphones are up to the task. They also excel as drum overheads or room microphones, making them a versatile tool in any recording environment, from studio to stage to broadcast.

Included with this matched pair is a stereo mounting bar, which facilitates a range of stereo recording techniques such as X-Y, ORTF, and spaced pair configurations. This addition not only simplifies the setup process but also empowers you to experiment with different microphone placements to achieve the perfect stereo image.

In summary, the Golden Age Project FC 4 ST matched pair of small-capsule condenser microphones with shock mounts is a high-quality, durable, and reliable choice for capturing professional-grade audio. Their versatility and precision make them an indispensable asset for any serious audio recording endeavor.
