About this listing
The Shure KSM32/SL Condenser Microphone is a premium side-address cardioid condenser microphone for highly critical studio recording and live sound productions. With an extremely flat, extended frequency response, the KSM32/SL provides transparent reproduction of the original sound source. A 15 dB attenuation switch allows the mic to handle the high SPLs associated with drums, percussion, and ensembles. The Shure KSM32/SL Condenser Microphone delivers a smooth, neutral sound reproduction with full character and can be used on an almost endless list of applications, some of which include vocals, acoustic and wind instruments, low frequency instruments such as double bass and kick drum and various overhead miking applications. The Shure KSM32/SL is equally at home on the stage or in the studio. Performance CharacteristicsYou can expect a smooth, neutral reproduction with full character. The Shure KSM32/SL Condenser microphone is a clear, accurate and detailed mic with a full and extended bass response, although the inclusion of both gentle and steep high-pass filters allows the bass end to be tamed very effectively if need be. Performance characteristics also include very low self noise and high input SPL capability.
