The Golden Age Project FC4 MC Small-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone is a small multi-capsule condenser mic with transformerless discrete low noise class-A electronics. The FC4 MC mic comes with three interchangeable heads with 20 mm gold-sputtered diaphragms so you can choose from cardioid, hyper-cardioid and omni-directional shaped polar patterns.

The characteristics of the Golden Age Project FC4 MC 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.
