KSM32/CG

Description

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.

* 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
* Replacement cartridge: RK374

Performance Characteristics

* Extended frequency response
* Very low self-noise
* Exceptional low-frequency reproduction
* High output level
* High input SPL capability
* No cross-over distortion
* Extremely uniform polar response
* Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency
interference

Applications

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

* 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.

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.
