Details: Amazon.comDesigned for studio use but rugged enough for live applications, the Shure KSM32 side-address condenser microphone with cardioid polar pattern features a permanently-biased 3/4-inch diaphragm, extremely low self-noise, and an extended frequency response specially tailored for vocal tracking and instrument recording.The Shure KSM32 microphone in charcoal.Key FeaturesClass 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.Frequency response.Polar pattern. Integrated three-stage pop protection grille reduces "pop" and other breath noise Internal shock mount reduces transmission of handling noisePerformance CharacteristicsExtended 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 interferenceApplicationsSome 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 drumsSpecificationsType: Permanently Biased Condenser Frequency Response: 20 to 20,000 Hz Directional Polar Pattern: Cardioid/Omnidirectional Output Impedance: 150 ohms (actual) Attenuation Switch: 0 or -15 dB attenuation Low Frequency Response Switch: Flat; 6 db/octave below 115 Hz; -18 dB/octave below 80 Hz Phantom Power: 48 Vdc +/- 4 Vdc (IEC26815/DIN 45 596), positive pins 2 and 3 Current Drain: 4.65 mA typical at 48 Vdc Common Mode Rejection: ≥50 dB, 20 Hz to 20 kHz Sensitivity (typical, at 1000 Hz; 1 Pa = 94 dB SPL): -36 dBV/Pa (16 mV) Selfnoise (typical, equivalent SPL; A-weighted, IEC 651): 13 dB Polarity: Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on output pin 2 relative to pin 3 Weight: 17.3 ouncesProduct DescriptionCardioid 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.
