Shure KSM32

Pure, unadulterated sound. The KSM32 cardioid condenser microphone with a wide frequency response is designed for open and lifelike reproduction of the original sound. A switchable 15 db attenuation makes the KSM32 the optimal microphone for miking extremely high-level sound sources such as drums, percussion or wind instruments. When reproducing the bass range, the KSM32 performs exceptionally well with its ultra-thin diaphragm. In addition, unwanted background noise is virtually eliminated by the high-pass filter, which can be switched to three positions. In addition to the color scheme shown here, the KSM32 is also available in champagne.
