FEATURES

- High output dynamic cartrige for a big and

powerful sound.

- A clear, distinct and full bodied sound with a

presence peak for life-like vocals.

- Cardioid polar pa ern that reduces feedback

in live use.

- Three switches for tailoring the sound.

- Rugged metal body

USING THE D2

The D2 can be used with any standard mixer

or preamp. Use either a XLR to XLR or XLR to

1/4” plug low impedance cable. Do not use the

D2 with 48V phantom power engaged.

When mounting the D2 to the stand you may

need to remove the threaded adapter from the

mic holder, depending on the threading of the

mic stand.

The D2 should point towards the sound source.

Be aware of the proximity eﬀ ect (an increase

in bass response) when the mic is close to

the sound source). This can be a good or a

bad thing. You can adjust the bass response

by changing the distance from the mic to the

sound source for an optimum result in diﬀ erent

applications.

You can also use the bass rolloﬀ ﬁ lters to lower

or remove the bass boost:

- The switch to the left enga-

ges a bass roll oﬀ ﬁ lter that is

about 3 dB down at 120 Hz

and 5 dB at 50 Hz.

- The switch in the middle

engages a bass roll oﬀ ﬁ lter

that is about 3 dB down at 210

Hz and 10 dB at 100 Hz.

The switch to the right enga-

ges a ﬁ lter that lowers a range

centered around 5 kHz with a

maximum of about 4 dB. This

ﬁ lter is active in about the

same frequency range as the

presence peak and therefore

lowers it when it is engaged.

Do experiment with mic pla-

cement and with the ﬁ lters!

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on choosing the Golden Age Project D2 microphone!

The D2 is a high quality dynamic microphone with a full bodied sound and an excellent transient

response. It has a consistent cardioid polar pa ern for a low oﬀ -axis coloration and a good rejection

of unwanted sounds.

The D2 has a marked presence peak centered around 5 kHz for a forward and distinctive sound.

Using the D2 close to the sound source results in a bass boost in the 75-300 Hz area due to the prox-

imity eﬀ ect which can help make voices and instruments sound fuller.

The three switches allows the user to adjust the frequency response. There are two switches for

selecting two diﬀ erent bass rolloﬀ ﬁ lters and one switch for lowering the response in a frequency

range centered around 5 kHz.

Equipped with an internal windscreen, an external pop ﬁ lter will usually not be needed. The 5/8’

thread adator in the stand adaptor matches diﬀ erent stand gauges.

The D2 is a versatile microphone that will perform very well in many applications, in the studio, on

stage and in broadcast applications, for speech/vocals and instruments like kick-drum and electric

bass.

D2 Large Diaphragm Dynamic Microphone INTRODUCTION Congratulations on choosing the Golden Age Project D2 microphone!

The D2 has a marked presence peak centered around 5 kHz for a forward and distinctive sound.

If the microphone is placed close to a speaker during live stage use, feedback may occur. Since the D2 has a cardioid pickup pattern, it will mainly pickup sound coming from the front of the mic. The risk for feedback is therefor greatly reduced. PRECAUTIONS - Be careful not to drop the D2 or subject it to shock since this can destroy the cartridge. - Store and transport the D2 in it´s padded case. - Keep the D2 away from extremely high temperatures (60 degrees) and humidity.
