ART C1 Cardiod FET Condenser Microphone

Professional Cardioid Condenser Microphone for Studio and Live Sound

The ART C1 is a large-diaphragm cardioid FET condenser microphone designed to deliver clear, detailed audio capture for vocals and instruments in studio recording, broadcast, and live sound applications. With a high-quality capsule and low-noise electronics, the C1 provides reliable performance for creators who need consistent, accurate sound reproduction.

Large Gold-Sputtered Diaphragm for Detailed Audio Capture

At the core of the C1 is a 34mm gold-sputtered diaphragm engineered to capture subtle details and natural tonal characteristics. This large diaphragm design produces a smooth frequency response with strong low-end presence, balanced mids, and clear highs, making it suitable for vocal recording, acoustic instruments, and percussion.

Cardioid Polar Pattern for Focused Sound Isolation

The fixed cardioid pickup pattern focuses on sound directly in front of the microphone while reducing unwanted room reflections and background noise. This controlled directionality improves feedback rejection and makes the C1 well suited for untreated rooms, live stages, and close-miking situations where clarity and isolation are essential.

Wide Dynamic Range with Low Self-Noise Performance

The ART C1 offers a wide dynamic range and a low noise floor, allowing it to handle both quiet passages and louder sound sources without distortion. This makes it effective for solo vocals, brass and woodwind instruments, drums, and amplified acoustic sources where clean headroom is required.

Durable Construction for Long-Term Reliability

Built with a precision-machined microphone body and a dent-resistant stainless-steel wire-mesh grille, the C1 is designed to withstand regular use in studio and mobile recording environments. Its solid construction ensures consistent performance while protecting the internal capsule from damage.

Included Accessories for Immediate Use and Protection

The C1 ships with a custom shockmount that reduces handling noise and vibration during recording sessions. An aluminum hard carry case is also included, providing safe storage and transport for the microphone and accessories between sessions or locations.
