Golden Age Audio - FC4 ST

The FC4 ST from Golden Age Audio brings together two FC4 microphones that are rigorously matched, guaranteeing optimum coherence in frequency response, sensitivity and phase. This match is essential for all demanding stereo recordings, whether they are natural acoustic recordings, ambient recordings or transient-rich sources such as acoustic guitar, piano or cymbals.

Each microphone is based on a small-diaphragm 20mm gold-sputtered electrostatic capsule, combined with discrete Class A transformerless electronics. This choice of design results in a fast response, excellent definition at the top end of the spectrum and faithful reproduction of micro-details, without excessive aggressiveness. The result remains balanced and legible, even in complex acoustic environments.

The built-in high-pass filter effectively controls mechanical vibrations, handling noise and low-frequency resonances, while the -10dB attenuator allows the FC4 ST to be used in front of loud sources such as guitar amps or percussion. This versatility makes it a reliable tool for both studio and stage use.

The solid brass enclosure ensures excellent robustness and limits interference, while the supplied suspension improves mechanical isolation during sensitive miking. Powered by 48 V phantom power, the microphones can be easily integrated into any professional audio system.

The Golden Age Audio FC4 ST is aimed at sound engineers looking for an affordable, stable and reliable stereo solution, capable of capturing acoustic sources with naturalness, precision and consistency.
