The C1 cardioid condenser microphone delivers a solid quality and outstanding
performance in an extremely cost effective microphone. The low-mass diaphragm
and upgraded high quality capsule delivers a clear tone with accurate sonic detail
making it perfect for a wide range of recording and live sound applications.
As a cardioid condenser microphone the C1 picks up only sound directly in front of
the mic while sounds from sides and back of the microphone are rejected increasing
isolation and delivering controlled directionality.
In live sound and remote recording applications, the ART C1’s cardioid pattern
offers excellent feedback rejection and better isolation and will give you the best
results on most vocal applications and a wide range of solo instruments including
background brass and woodwinds, acoustic stringed instruments (violin, viola and
cello), drums and percussion. It offers full frequency response at the front of the
microphone with a very controlled and predictable proximity effect – the increased
low frequency response when microphone is placed close to sound source.
Vocalists can use the proximity effect to their advantage, adding fullness and more
'bottom end' to the voice. Experienced vocalists can easily incorporate it as part of
their overall microphone technique.
Note: The cardioid symbol on the microphone housing denotes the 'live side', or front face of the microphone
that in all cases should face the performer.
As a condenser microphone, the C1 requires phantom power to operate. The included
heavy-duty shock-mount suspension virtually eliminates vibration and handling noise,
while at the same time safely securing the microphone in any position needed during
the recording
