Leading the changes for 2015 is the introduction of the C-Series large diaphragm side address studio condenser FET microphones. Available in three versions, the C1 is the entry-level cardiod side address condenser, the C2 offers the same sonic character as the C1, but has a two-position pad and two-position high pass filter. The C3 is a multi-pattern condenser (cardioid, figue-8, and omnidirectional) also with two-position pad and roll off. All C-Series mics offer 34mm gold capsules, warm sounding FET designs, secure shockmounts, and aluminum carry cases.
The flagship of the line is the ART T4 high performance multi pattern tube mic. The T4 also uses 34mm gold capsule with an integrated 7025 tube preamp, external power supply, heavy duty shockmount, premium 7-pin XLR cable, and comes with an aluminum case.
The ART microphone line update also includes the AR5, as well as the new D7 large diaphragm dynamic mic.
