KSM Studio Instrument Microphone!

The Shure KSM141 is an end-address condenser microphone with mechanically switching dual polar patterns (cardioid and omnidirectional). Designed for studio use, yet rugged enough for live applications, the KSM141 can withstand extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). Its low self-noise and extended frequency response make it ideal for recording musical instruments.


Features:
• A mechanical polar pattern switch for highly consistent cardioid and true omnidirectional polar patterns. Provides flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications
• Ultra-thin, 2.5 micron, 24 karat gold-layered, low mass Mylar diaphragm for superior transient response
• Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response, no crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortion
• Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors
• Subsonic filter eliminates low frequency rumble (less than 17 Hz) caused by mechanical vibration
• Three-position switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
• Three-position switchable low-frequency filter to reduce background noise and counteract proximity effect


Performance Characteristics:
• Extended frequency response
• Low self noise
• Exceptional reproduction of low-frequency sounds
• Can withstand high sound pressure levels (SPL)
• High output level
• No crossover distortion
• Uniform polar response
• Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interference

Very Accurate Mics

by Nick B. from Kailua-Kona HI
December 7, 2006
Music Background: Musician
I bought the stereo pair of these mics for recording acoustic guitar. Still waiting on my interface so I've only used one at a time, but I can say that this is a super accurate microphone with very l... read more [+]ittle coloring. If anything I would characterize it as a slight metallic sheen on top, nothing that a good preamp couldn't warm up. Picks up harmonics particularly well - highs are defined and clear, good lows and mids. Just needs a little more warmth like I say, but for a stereo pair of small's this is about as good as you can get outside Neumans. Perhaps for the money it's even a better deal. Someone recommended I go with these over and above the SM-81's. These were well worth it and also available in a stereo pair. Very accurate. close [-]
