Pick up a pair from Sweetwater today!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 R1 Tube Active Ribbon Microphone Features: Natural, musical ribbon sound with the consistency of active electronics Low-noise 6J1-based tube amplifier isolates ribbon and gain make-up transformer and delivers higher output than a typical ribbon mic Classic ribbon sound with smooth highs and extended low end Fat, warm, and punchy, with fast transients and life-like realism Very high sensitivity, similar to many condenser mics Figure-8 polar pattern with wide sweet spots front and rear; excellent side rejection 50mm, 2-micron aluminum foil ribbon element Internal shock mount for the ribbon and magnet assembly Manufactured from the top-drawer materials for great performance and long-term reliability Can be used with any standard mixer or preamp, preferably with balanced input Frequency response: 30Hz–18kHz Equivalent noise level: 16dB A-weighted Ultra-high 165dB SPL capability Sensitivity: -40dB at 1kHz Includes aluminum flight case SpecificationDetail Microphone Type Active Ribbon Ribbon Type 2-micron Aluminum Mono/Stereo Mono Polar Pattern Figure-8 Frequency Response 30Hz-18kHz Max SPL 165dB SPL (1kHz at Output Impedance 200 ohms Self Noise 16dB (A weighted) Sensitivity -40 dBV/Pa Tube 6J1 Connector XLR Power Source 48V phantom power Weight 1.1 lbs.
