GOLDEN AGE PROJECT FC1 Condenser microphone

The FC 1 MKII is a high quality large capsule condenser microphone, inspired by classical microphone models. It is is very a versatile microphone with a wide frequency response and a large dynamic range. It will perform great in the studio or in live sound and broadcast applications.

The FC 1 has a center-terminated capsule with a sweet top end and can handle loud sounds without harshness or other problems.
The output transformer handles bass well and adds that extra fat sound that only transformers can deliver. The retro EQ in the FC 1 MKII is set to deliver maximum sound quality with as many sound sources as possible.

The sound character of the FC 1 MKII is similar to vintage microphones and it is well suited to be used with most instruments and voices. It works very well on vocals and choirs, acoustic and electric guitars and other fretted instruments, as a drum overhead or room mic and in any other application where you would use a big capsule condenser mic.

The FC 1 MKII comes with a spider style shock mount.

• General-purpose cardioid recording microphone
• Extended frequency response
• Roadworthy construction

NT2-A - ?The Legend Continues? Multi Pattern 1? Condenser Microphone.
 
The new NT2-A carries on the tradition forged by the now legendary R?DE NT2.
A professional large capsule (1?) studio microphone incorporating three-position
pick-up patterns, pad and high pass filter switches conveniently located on the
mic body.
At the heart of the NT2-A is the Australian designed and manufactured HF1 dual
diaphragm capsule. The frequency and transient response of this new transducer
has been voiced to complement today?s modern recording techniques, and yet still
evoke the silky smooth character of the legendary microphones of the 50?s and 60?s.
These features provide the flexibility and superlative audio characteristics that make
the NT2-A one of the most versatile condenser mics available.
The NT2-A?s variable controls allow switching between Omni, Figure 8, and Cardioid
polar patterns. The three position high-pass filter provides a flat response or an 80Hz
and 40Hz high pass filter to be selected. Finally the microphones Pad can be switched
between 0 dB, -5dB and -10dB. The NT2-A comes in a soft pouch with an M2 stand mount.
 
SPECIFICATIONS:
Features:
The Australian designed and manufactured HF1 1? edge terminated, gold sputtered, dual
5 um diaphragm capsule. 3-position variable polar pattern: Omni, Cardioid & Figure 8; all
controlled on the mic. 3-position variable high-pass filter: Flat, 80 Hz or 40 Hz. 3-position
variable pad: 0 dB, -5 dB or -10 dB. Ultra low noise, transformerless SMT circuitry. Wide
dynamic range. High strength heat-treated steel mesh head. Durable satin nickel finish.
Internal capsule shock mounting. Supplied complete with soft pouch and clip. Designed
and manufactured in Sydney, Australia.
Operation power:
The NT2-A is designed to operate from phantom power to the P48 standard. The NT2-A will
operate between 44V and 52V applied with positive polarity to pin 2 and pin 3 of the output
XLR connector.
Operation output impedance:
The NT2-A will operate satisfactorily into a load impedance as low as 1 kΩ. If a load below this
is used, the output signal level will be reduced. The NT2-A output is balanced between pin 2 (hot)
and pin 3 (cold). Pin 1 is ground.

Behringer B-5 Sputtered Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone

The B-5 is a professional gold-sputtered diaphragm condenser microphone featuring two interchangeable capsules for different pickup patterns (cardioid and omnidirectional). It is perfect for acoustic instruments, vocals and overhead miking. Its ultra low-noise transformerless FET input eliminates low frequency distortion. The -10 dB attenuator can be used with high volume signal sources, while the low-cut filter eliminates floor rumble. The microphone is delivered in a rugged hard case with stand adapter and windscreen.
