Art Pro Audio C2 Cardioid FET Condenser Microphone with Pad & Roll-Off

Let the ART C2 Cardioid FET Condenser Microphone with Pad & Roll-Off elevate your audio recording experience with its high-quality, professional-grade features. This durable and reliable microphone stands out with its large diaphragm, which excels in capturing intricate sound details, delivering a smoother and more natural audio reproduction. Its versatility makes it an exceptional choice for both studio recordings and live performances.

The ART C2's cardioid polar pattern is meticulously designed to focus on sound sources directly in front of the microphone, ensuring that your recordings are free from unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This pattern is particularly beneficial for solo vocal or instrument recordings, where clarity and subtlety are of utmost importance. The microphone's ability to isolate sound sources makes it an excellent option for a variety of applications, from capturing the nuanced tones of stringed instruments like violins and cellos to the dynamic range of drums and percussion.

With its two-position pad switches, the ART C2 can handle loud at-source signals without distortion, thanks to the -6 & -12dB pad switch options. Additionally, the two-position low frequency roll-off switches, set at 100Hz & 200Hz, are adept at reducing low-end 'boominess' and mitigating low frequency interference, ensuring your recordings are crisp and clear.

The proximity effect of this microphone is both controlled and predictable, offering vocalists the opportunity to add richness and depth to their voice. The front of the microphone, indicated by the cardioid symbol, is engineered to provide full frequency response, allowing experienced vocalists to use this feature to enhance their microphone technique effectively.

Constructed with a precision-tooled body and a dent-resistant stainless-steel wire-mesh windscreen, the ART C2 is built for unmatched long-term reliability. It requires phantom power to operate, a standard for condenser microphones of this caliber. The microphone is complemented by an extremely secure custom shockmount, minimizing any potential for disruptive vibrations.

Included with the ART C2 is an aluminum carry case, ensuring that your microphone is protected and portable. Whether you're recording in a studio setting or capturing live performances, the ART C2 Cardioid FET Condenser Microphone with Pad & Roll-Off is a professional and versatile tool that will consistently deliver superior sound quality.
