KSM 32/SL Cardoid Studio Condenser Microphone Kit
Designed and built based upon years of Shure research and development, the KSM32 is a side-address, cardioid condenser mic outfitted with Class A, transformerless preamp circuitry. This virtually eliminates crossover distortion and brings improved linearity across its entire operating range. Its embossed, high-compliance, gold-layered, Mylar® diaphragm provides extended low frequency response while improving environmental stability. The very low mass of this ultra-thin (2.5 micrometer) diaphragm enables it to accurately reproduce the transient response of any sound source.
The KSM32 incorporates a 15 dB attenuation switch for managing extremely high SPLs. Performance is further enhanced by its extremely low self noise (less than 13 dB typical, A-weighted), resulting in the increased dynamic range required for demanding recording applications. Given the KSM32's high output capability, noise potentials are reduced even further by eliminating the need for large amounts of microphone preamp gain.
As a safeguard against unwanted noise, the KSM32 is additionally equipped with an internal shock mount, integral three-stage pop filter, and a switchable low frequency filter which can be adjusted to reduce mechanical vibration and HVAC noise, or to counteract proximity effect.
With an open, natural, extended frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, the KSM32 is ideally suited for use with vocals, acoustic and wind instruments, ensembles, and the overhead miking of drums and percussion.
Model KSM32/SL, features a champagne-colored finish and comes standard with a ShureLockTM elastic-suspension shock mount, a locking aluminum carrying case, ShureLock swivel mount, and a protective velveteen pouch
