Overview

Authorised N.Z. SHURE dealer (12 month warranty)

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:

• 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 three-stage pop protection grille reduces pop and other breath noise
• Internal shock mount reduces transmission of handling noise

The KSM32/SL has a champagne-colored finish and comes with the following accessories:

• Locking aluminum carrying case
• ShureLock elastic-suspension shock mount
• ShureLock swivel mount
• Protective velveteen pouch

Applications:

• Voice -- solo, background, voice-over, broadcasting
• Acoustic instruments -- 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 ambiance 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.
