SHURE KSM32C/SM｜Studio-Grade Cardioid Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
Born for Professional Recording, a Studio Workhorse that Captures Pure, Detailed Sound
The SHURE KSM32C/SM is a professional-grade large-diaphragm condenser microphone, featuring a precision 0.75-inch Mylar® diaphragm and a Class A, transformerless preamp circuit. It delivers extremely low self-noise of only 13 dB and a wide dynamic range, ensuring the purest capture of sound source details.
Unlike many microphones in its class that over-emphasize high frequencies, the KSM32C/SM utilizes a unique embossed, high-compliance backplate to suppress harsh resonances, ensuring a flat and natural frequency response. This allows vocal recordings and instrument miking to fit perfectly into a mix with minimal post-production. This bundle also includes a professional microphone stand and cable, providing a complete, ready-to-use studio microphone solution.

Shure KSM32C/SM Core Technology and Features

- Switchable -15dB Attenuator: Provides extremely high sound pressure level (SPL) handling capability, allowing it to remain clear and distortion-free even with loud sources like guitar amps, brass instruments, or drums.
- Three-Position Low-Frequency Filter: Offers flat, -6dB/octave (at 115Hz), and -18dB/octave (at 80Hz) settings to effectively reduce low-frequency rumble from stage vibrations, air conditioning, and to precisely control proximity effect.
