Achieve authoritative, warm, and detailed audio with the Golden Age Project GA-47 MKII Large-diaphragm Tube Condenser Microphone. Designed to meet the demands of professional studios, this microphone excels at capturing vocals and instruments with a vintage character that modern condensers often lack.
The GA-47 MKII’s core strength lies in its use of a rare Telefunken EF-800 pentode tube operated in triode mode, which significantly reduces noise and distortion. This delivers a smooth, natural sound with a low self-noise rating of 10 dB, allowing you to record quiet sources without unwanted hiss. Its maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 140 dB enables distortion-free capture of loud sources like drums and guitar amplifiers, expanding your recording possibilities.
Equipped with a hybrid capsule that blends vintage K47 and K67 designs, the microphone offers selectable cardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns. This flexibility lets you optimize your recording setup for different acoustic environments and instruments, whether isolating a solo vocal or capturing room ambiance. The dual-sided capsule ensures minimal sensitivity variation—less than 0.3 dB—between patterns, guaranteeing consistent tonal quality.
Built with precision, the GA-47 MKII features a robust brass body and an iron grille carefully modeled after the original vintage microphone to maintain its sonic integrity. Inside, the combination of a high-quality Rogers circuit board and traditional point-to-point wiring enhances reliability and preserves the classic analog warmth. The included replica BV8 dual-bobbin output transformer further enriches the microphone’s sound with full-bodied low-end and smooth highs.
Technical compatibility is ensured with a standard XLR connector and an external power supply designed for low noise and stable operation. The microphone’s output impedance of 200 ohms matches industry standards, making it compatible with a wide range of professional preamps and recording interfaces. The broad frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz captures the full spectrum of natural sound, from deep bass to crisp highs.
Each GA-47 MKII is handcrafted in limited runs of 50 units, with rigorous testing to ensure tight manufacturing tolerances and unit-to-unit consistency. This meticulous quality control means you receive a microphone that faithfully reproduces vintage tone with modern reliability and durability. The package includes a shockmount, metal flight case, connecting cable, and external power supply—everything needed for immediate professional use.
The Golden Age Project GA-47 MKII blends the best of vintage sonic character with modern engineering precision. Its authentic tube warmth, versatile polar patterns, and robust build make it a valuable centerpiece in any high-end recording setup. Elevate your recordings with a microphone that offers both classic sound and contemporary convenience.
