Golden Age Project TC 3

Detachable-Capsule Pencil Tube Condenser Microphone

The Golden Age Project TC 3 is a small-diaphragm tube condenser with interchangeable capsules.

The mic uses a 20mm capsule with 3 micron diaphragm material. The three included capsules are interchangeable, and appear to be (based on visual appearance) compatible with the capsules from the Avantone Pro CV-28 and Advanced Audio CM-28. These capsules fit onto the chassis of the mic after removing the grille cap.

Switches on the mic body enable a -15dB pad and 75Hz high-pass filter.

The tube used in this mic is not specified.

The mic ships with:

• External power supply
• Elastic shockmount
• Cables
• Aluminum flight case

According to GAP, this model could be reintroduced in the future, should customer interest warrant it.

The Golden Age Project TC 3 is also known as: TC3.
