Description
 
The Shure KSM32 is a side-address, cardioid condenser microphone for highly critical studio recording and live sound productions. It offers an extended frequency response for an open, natural sounding reproduction of the original sound source.
 
Features
  • 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

  • Integrated 3-stage pop protection grille reduces "pop" and other breath noise

  • Internal shock mount reduces transmission of handling noise

  • Some typical applications for the KSM32 are listed below. Microphone use, however, is largely a matter of personal taste. The KSM32 may be used for a variety of applications other than those listed.

  • Applications
  • Voice: solo, background, voice-over, broadcasting

  • Acoustic instrument: such as piano, guitar, drums, percussion, strings

  • Wind instruments: brass and woodwind

  • Low frequency instruments: such as double bass, electric bass, kick drum

  • Overhead miking: drums or percussion

  • Ensembles: choral or orchestral

  • Room ambience pick-up: guitar amplifier or drums

  • 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.
