About Art Pro Audio C1

Take your audio recording and live sound performance to the next level with the ART C1 Cardioid FET Condenser Microphone. This high-quality microphone delivers exceptional clarity and precision, making it an ideal choice for a broad spectrum of applications, from studio recording to live sound setups.

The ART C1 features a low-mass diaphragm and a top-tier 34mm capsule, which together produce a crystal-clear tone and meticulous sonic detail. This makes it an excellent choice not only for vocal performances but also for capturing the nuances of a wide array of solo instruments. From the resonant tones of brass and woodwinds to the rich harmonics of stringed instruments like violins, violas, and cellos, to the dynamic range of drums and percussion, the ART C1 ensures every note is captured with precision.

In live sound and remote recording scenarios, the cardioid pattern of the ART C1 offers superior feedback rejection and improved isolation. This feature ensures optimal results for most vocal applications, providing a clean, clear sound that stands out in the mix.

The microphone also boasts a controlled and predictable proximity effect, which refers to the increased low-frequency response when the microphone is placed close to the sound source. This feature can be used to add fullness and depth to vocal performances, enhancing the 'bottom end' of the voice.

As a condenser microphone, the ART C1 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 unparalleled long-term reliability.

The C1 comes with a highly secure custom shockmount to minimize handling noise and an aluminum carry case for safe transport and storage. With the ART C1 Cardioid FET Condenser Microphone, you're investing in a tool that delivers professional-grade sound quality and performance.
