KSM32 SL Single Diaphragm Microphone

Key Features:

  • 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

Includes:

  • ShureLock™ Rubber Isolated Shock Mount
  • Swivel Adapter
  • Protective Velveteen Pouch
  • Case

Suggested Applications:

  • Voice and vocals
  • Close-miking of acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, violins, drums, and percussion
  • Brass and woodwind instruments
  • Low-frequency instruments such as double bass and kick drum
  • Overhead miking for drums or percussion
  • Orchestras, choirs, wind ensembles
  • Room ambience pick-up (guitar amplifier or drums)
 
Transducer Type Condenser  

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.

Self-noise 13dB
Maximum SPL at 1000 Hz 139 (154) dB
133 (148) dB
Output Clipping Level* 2500 ohm load (Attenuator on): +9 dBV
1000 ohm load (Attenuator on): +3 dBV
Dynamic Range 2500 ohm load: 126 dB
1000 ohm load: 119 dB
Signal to Noise ratio** 81 dB
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), 2500 ohm load <0.08% for a 120 dB equivalent SPL input.
