About the On-Stage AS800 FET Condenser Mic

The On-Stage AS800 is an all-purpose microphone solution for recording vocals and instruments in home and project studios. Designed to record a wide range of source material with very-low self-noise, the mic features a gold, 32mm large-diaphragm condenser element that, while sensitive, can handle a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of up to 125 dB without distorting. While large-diaphragm condensers are commonly chosen for vocals, the relatively high SPL handling and balanced natural sound means the mic can be used on a wide variety of instruments as well, including loud instruments such as drums and guitars.

The AS800 features a cardioid pickup pattern, which focuses audio capture on the performer in front of the mic, picking up less unwanted off-axis sound for cleaner recordings. A low-cut switch can be engaged to filter out low-end mechanical noise and rumbles from HVAC systems. The included shockmount connects to any standard microphone stand and suspends the mic, isolating it from vibrations and additional rumbling noise.

The AS800 connects to gear with a standard 3-pin XLR connection and requires 48V phantom power from a mixer, interface, or preamp for operation. A foam windscreen to reduce breath and plosive noise is included along with a mic pouch and carrying case.

FAQs about On-Stage AS800 FET Condenser Mic

What is the primary function and capsule design of the On-Stage AS800?

The AS800 is a versatile large-diaphragm FET condenser microphone engineered to capture detailed, natural audio in home and commercial recording studios. It features a $32\text{mm}$ gold-sputtered diaphragm capsule that delivers crisp high-end presence, a smooth midrange, and full bass response.

What directional polar pattern does the AS800 microphone use?

The microphone utilizes a fixed cardioid polar pattern, picking up sound directly in front of the capsule while rejecting off-axis noise from the sides and rear. This makes it ideal for isolating vocals, acoustic guitars, and instruments in untreated or noisy recording rooms.

Does the AS800 require phantom power to operate?

Yes, as an active condenser microphone, it requires standard +48V phantom power provided via a mixer, audio interface, or standalone mic preamp. It connects using a standard 3-pin XLR cable.

Does the microphone include onboard low-frequency controls?

Yes, the AS800 features an internal low-frequency roll-off switch (6dB/octave} at $100Hz). Engaging this low-cut filter helps reduce proximity-effect bass buildup, mechanical HVAC rumble, and floor vibrations.

What acoustic frequency range and maximum SPL does the microphone support?

The microphone offers a full-range frequency response of 20Hz to20kHz and handles a maximum Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of 125dB. This wide frequency bandwidth and headroom make it suitable for both quiet acoustic instruments and loud vocal performances.

Can the AS800 be used for podcasts, streaming, and voiceover work?

Yes, its high sensitivity (-36dB+2dB) and cardioid isolation make it an excellent choice for spoken word applications like podcasting, voiceovers, and live streaming. It accurately captures vocal articulation and subtle nuances without requiring excessive preamp gain.

Is a shock mount included to reduce handling noise?

Yes, the AS800 comes with a custom spider-style shock mount that isolates the microphone body from stand-transmitted vibrations and floor thumps. The shock mount mounts easily to any standard 5/8"-27 threaded microphone stand.

Is the microphone durable enough for mobile field recording?

Yes, the microphone is built with a heavy-duty metal housing and a sturdy mesh grille to protect the delicate capsule. It also includes a protective carrying case and storage pouch to keep the unit safe during transport.
