Shure KSM32/SL Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphone (Champagne)

Large-diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Gold-layered Mylar Diaphragm, Transformerless Preamplifier, Pad, Highpass Filter, Swivel Mount, and Carrying Bag - Champagne

Cardioid condenser microphone delivers a smooth, neutral sound reproduction with full character and consists of a microphone, a padded, zippered carrying bag, and a swivel mount.

Both the acoustic environment and microphone placement have significant effects on the sound obtained when miking a source. You may need to experiment with these variables to achieve the best overall sound for each application.

An embossed single-diaphragm, side-address, cardioid condenser microphone for highly critical studio recording and live sound productions. The Shure KSM32 offers an extended frequency response for an open, natural sounding reproduction of the original sound source.

Features:

• Class A, transformerless preamplifier circuitry eliminates cross-over distortion for improved linearity across the full frequency range.
• Embossed, high-compliance diaphragm provides extended low-frequency response.
• Ultra-thin, gold-layered, low-mass, Mylar diaphragm for excellent transient response
• 15 dB attenuation switch for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL)
• Switchable low-frequency filter provides greater flexibility to reduce background noise or to counteract proximity effect.
