Included microphone models

  • FG-49:The FG-49 microphone model adds authentic character with a dominant, rich midrange alongside a gently airy and smooth high-end. Perfectly suited for capturing detailed vocals, this mic particularly excels as a drum room mic, providing depth and spaciousness. It’s equally powerful capturing the resonant textures of piano and the dynamic punch of brass instruments. When used on kick drums, it delivers full-bodied tones that resonate clearly without overpowering other instruments. If you're after that unmistakable vintage German tube mic sound, the FG-49 will become a regular choice in your virtual mic locker.
  • FG-67 MKII: The FG-67 MKII recreates the signature tone of a classic stock 67 microphone. Offering darker, smooth highs and lush, warm lows, it provides a genuine vintage tone ideal for vocals requiring subtlety and depth. Its naturally dark top end makes it perfect for drums, piano, and horns, where vintage warmth and a classic sound is desired. Compared to the brighter modified version, this stock variant gives you that genuine vintage midrange warmth and character, making it a versatile choice for classic tone enthusiasts.
  • FG-37A: The FG-37A microphone model features a beautifully sculpted midrange, enhancing vocals in a flattering, natural way. It's ideal for vocalists who want an effortlessly pleasing tone with minimal processing. Additionally, this mic performs superbly on acoustic guitars, delivering clarity and warmth without harshness. When used as drum overheads or on piano, its balanced midrange ensures a clear, focused sound that complements a variety of mixes effortlessly, becoming an invaluable addition to your virtual microphone locker.
  • FG-44: The FG-44 introduces a unique tube-enhanced ribbon microphone model with smooth vintage sound qualities. Adding subtle tube harmonics and saturation, it provides a beautifully mellow character, ideal for sources that benefit from smooth vintage tones. Its cardioid ribbon design makes it versatile, sounding particularly good on vocals, guitars, brass, strings, and other instruments needing vintage warmth. This custom hybrid design expands your virtual mic collection’s versatility, making it simple to achieve that effortlessly smooth and classic character in your recordings.
  • FG-47 MKII: The FG-47 MKII faithfully models a renowned vintage German tube mic with an improved upper midrange and richer low-mid tones. This provides a slightly smoother, warmer tone ideal for vintage-inspired vocals. On kick drums, it delivers depth and impact, adding warmth and presence effortlessly. It’s also outstanding on bass cabinets, capturing low-end richness clearly and accurately. The FG-47 MKII is the perfect choice if you're seeking a versatile microphone model that combines vintage tonal qualities with clarity, warmth, and depth, rounding out your microphone collection beautifully.
