About Art Pro Audio C3

Under the umbrella of professional audio recording equipment, the ART C3 Multi-Pattern FET Condenser Microphone with Pad & Roll-Off stands out as a high-quality, versatile, and reliable tool. This microphone is designed with a wide diaphragm, enabling it to capture a fuller, more natural sound, making it an excellent choice for recording a variety of instruments and vocals.

The C3 microphone is equipped with three selectable polar patterns, offering flexibility to adapt to any recording or live application. Whether you're recording solo vocals, saxophones, flutes, brass, woodwinds, acoustic guitars, or acoustic bass, the C3 microphone ensures superior sound quality with exceptional clarity.

This durable microphone is built to handle high Sound Pressure Levels (SPL), making it an excellent choice for live sound reinforcement or live recording applications. It can effortlessly handle the levels you'd encounter when positioning it as an overhead mic for drum kits or in front of guitar or bass cabinets.

The C3 microphone features a -6 & -12dB pad switch, allowing distortion-free reproduction of extremely loud at-source signals. Additionally, it has a two-position -12dB/octave low-frequency roll-off at 100Hz & 200Hz, effectively reducing unnecessary low-end 'boominess' and low-frequency interference.

The microphone comes with a heavy-duty shock-mount suspension, which minimizes vibration and handling noise, while securely positioning the microphone during the recording process. The multiple polar patterns include Cardioid, Omnidirectional, and Bi-directional or Figure-8, offering versatility for a wide range of applications.

As a condenser microphone, the ART C3 requires phantom power to operate. Its precision-tooled microphone body and dent-resistant stainless-steel wire-mesh windscreen protect the internal electronics and microphone capsule, ensuring unmatched long-term reliability. The C3 microphone comes equipped with an extremely secure custom shock mount and includes an aluminum carry case for added convenience and protection.
