C. F. Martin introduced four new acoustic guitar models featuring Fishman's onboard Aura Sound Reinforcement System. The Aura harnesses the power of Fishman's proprietary acoustic imaging technology – building it right into your instrument.

The onboard Aura features six customized Aura Acoustic Sound Images specially created for and by Martin. These images can be blended with the Martin Gold+Plus under-the-saddle pickup signal for unequaled studio quality acoustic sound reproduction. The six presets are derived from model specific studio recordings played into a variety of high-end microphones. Other onboard Aura features include digital and fully programmable equalization, feedback control, and chromatic tuning.

The new model offerings include the Dreadnought cutaway DC-16RE Aura, the Orchestra Model cutaway OMC-16RE Aura, the Dreadnought cutaway DC-16RGTE Aura Gloss Top, and the Grand Concert cutaway 000C-16RGTE Aura Gloss Top. All four models feature solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, prized for tonal warmth and power, plus solid bookmatched spruce soundboards. The "GT" Gloss Top models feature satin lacquered sides, back and neck, while the "RE" models feature polished gloss bodies, satin necks, single-banded pearl rosettes and white body and fingerboard bindings.
