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 Active MKIII Ribbon Microphone Features: FET buffer amp lets you use the mic with longer cable runs and any preamp with phantom power Classic ribbon sound with smooth highs and extended low end Clear and punchy, with fast transients and life-like realism Ideal for capturing instruments and vocals Figure-8 polar pattern with wide sweet spots front and rear; excellent side rejection Ultra-high 160dB SPL capability High sensitivity, similar to many condenser mics Highpass filter 10dB pad SpecificationDetail Microphone Type Active Ribbon Ribbon Type 2-micron Aluminum Mono/Stereo Mono Polar Pattern Figure-8 Frequency Response 30Hz-18kHz (±3dB) Max SPL 160dB SPL (1kHz at Output Impedance 200 ohms Self Noise 18dB (A weighted) Sensitivity -42 dBV/Pa Connector XLR Power Source 48V phantom power Weight 0.99 lbs.
