Shure KSM32/SL Studio Cardioid Condenser Microphone Overview
The premium quality Shure KSM32/SL Studio Cardioid Condenser Microphone is a ruggedly built, large diaphragm side-address mic for detailed studio recording and live sound productions.
The KSM32/SL offers an extended frequency response of 20Hz - 20kHz which allows more natural and transparent reproduction of the main sound source. Additionally, a 15 dB attenuation switch handles extremely high SPL levels while the switchable low-frequency filter reduces unwanted background noise.
The integrated three-stage pop protection grille reduces pop and other breath noises and the internal shock mount reduces transmission of handling noise. The Class-A circuitry combined with extended “sweet spot” ensures delivery of a smooth and detailed response.
The KSM32/SL is supplied with a locking aluminium carrying case, ShureLock elastic-suspension shock mount, ShureLock swivel mount and a protective velveteen pouch.
- Class A, transformerless preamplifier circuitry eliminates cross-over distortion for improved linearity across the full frequency range.
