Here's What Golden Age Project Say About the FC 4 ST

Matched Pair Small Capsule Condenser Microphone with Pad and Highpass Filter

The FC 4 ST is a matched (within 1 dB) stereo pair of two FC 4 microphones. Specs below. 

The FC 4 is a low cost, small capsule, true condenser microphone with transformerless discrete low noise class-A electronics. The 20 mm, 3 um gold-sputtered diaphragm has a cardioid shaped polar pattern and a great sensitivity.

The characteristics of the FC 4 are ideal for many recording and live situations. It will catch the crispness of your favorite guitar, every detail of your acoustic piano, the complexity of a clean electric guitar, the raw power of distorted amps, etc.

We have equipped the FC 4 with high-pass filter and pad switches. This also makes it suitable for loud sounds and even vocal recording.

Every musician and studio have use for a couple of FC 4´s. The small capsule cardioid condenser mic is one of the most basic mics for recording. The FC 4 is truly a great sounding and very versatile microphone at a very low price!

Golden Age Project

Golden Age Project is represented in the current MicPro catalogue by R1-SM shockmount, R2 MKII ribbon, FC4 and MC microphones. The listed range is relevant to ribbon capture, studio microphones and isolation hardware. When comparing these products, check ribbon power guidance, capsule type, pattern, shockmount fit, preamp gain and intended source. It gives the catalogue both a microphone and supporting mount choices, with the individual model deciding the recording role. This description is kept catalogue-led, so the individual model listing remains the source for exact specifications, compatibility and included accessories.

Condenser Microphones

Condenser microphones use a sensitive capsule design that can capture fine detail, fast transients and a broad frequency range. They are common choices for vocals, acoustic instruments, overheads, room work and studio recording, but their sensitivity also makes room sound and handling more noticeable. Compare large- or small-diaphragm construction, polar pattern, self-noise, maximum level, pad and high-pass options, and whether phantom power is required. The right condenser depends on the source, placement and acoustic environment, not simply on whether the microphone is marketed for studio use.
