And owning a pair of them vastly increases the versatility of this microphone, opening up highly effective stereo recording techniques such as Spaced Pair (A/B), X-Y (including Blumlein), ORTF array, and Mid-Side (MS). The TC1 features high 140dB SPL handling and is equipped with a 10dB pad — which means you can use it on the loudest sources without fear of overload, while a highpass filter lets you roll off structure-borne rumble that could derail a perfect performance. The TC1 includes an external power supply with polar pattern selector, a spider-type shockmount, and an aluminum flight case. Every studio needs at least one pair of quality large-diaphragm condensers. The Golden Age Project TC1 is an amazing value. Sweetwater's advice: Stock up!The Golden Age Project The Golden Age Project was founded in 2005 on the belief that vintage gear sounds best, and the desire to pass on this sonic legacy to a new generation of musicians, engineers, and producers. All discrete, Class A signal paths with no integrated circuits; the use of transformers, stepped controls, and military-grade build quality — these are the cornerstones of the legendary British equipment deployed in world-class recording and broadcast studios in the 1970s — the Golden Age of analog. Fat, warm, punchy, and authoritative; this is the sound heard on countless hits for nigh unto half a century. Locating, purchasing, restoring, and maintaining vintage gear is time-consuming and costly. Fortunately, this small, family-owned Swedish company makes gear the same way it was made back in the day — at an amazingly gentle price. A distributor of high-end studio equipment for many years, Golden Age Project founder Bo Medin wanted to be able to offer products with much of the same exclusive sound in a price range that made them available to a larger audience. Inspired by original designs, Golden Age uses modern technology to re-create that lush, opulent sound, making it surprisingly affordable. They use some modern ingenuity to add new functionality to superb classic designs and produce them in a cost-effective way, which allows them to be both optimized and affordable. From outboard equipment to condenser, dynamic, and ribbon mics, you can outfit your entire studio with vintage-inspired Golden Age gear without exceeding your budget.Golden Age Project TC1 Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone Features: Pressure-gradient true-condenser mic with 26mm gold-sputtered dual capsule Capsule mounted on internal shockmount Hand-selected, low-noise 6072/12AT7 vacuum tube Discrete, Class A tube electronics with transformer-balanced output stage 9 polar patterns: cardioid, omni, figure-8, and 6 intermediate stages External switches for highpass filter and pad Highpass filter: 3dB/octave at 100Hz Pre-attenuation pad: 10dB Frequency response: 20Hz–20kHz Equivalent noise level: 18dB Maximum SPL: 140dB; THD: 1% Impedance: 200 ohms; load impedance: 1000 ohms Sensitivity: -36dB at 1 kHz Attractive, heavy-duty brass body External power supply with polar pattern selector and 7-pin connecting cable Includes aluminum flight case and spider-type shockmount SpecificationDetail Microphone Type Tube Condenser Mono/Stereo Mono Polar Pattern Cardioid, Figure-8, Omnidirectional (6 additional pattern variations) Diaphragm Size 1.02" (26mm) Frequency Response 20Hz-20kHz Max SPL 140dB SPL Output Impedance 200 ohms Sensitivity -36dB @ 1kHz Self Noise 18dB Low Cut Filter 100Hz 3dB/Octave Pads -10dB Tube 6072/12AT7 vacuum tube Color Brass body with silver finish Connector 7-pin (TC 1), 3-pin XLR (power supply) Included Accessories Flight Case, Shockmount RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
