Description
The KSM32 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 provides transparent reproduction of the original sound source. A 15 dB attenuation switch allows the KSM32 to handle the high sound pressure levels (SPL) associated with drums, percussion, and ensembles, while the 3 position low cut filter helps counteract stage vibrations or proximity effect.
Performance Characteristics
• Extremely uniform polar response
• Extended frequency response
• Minimal self-noise
• Exceptional low-frequency reproduction
• Able to withstand high SPLs
• High output level
• No crossover distortion
• Superior common-mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interference (RFI)
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 and consistent off-axis rejection
• Ultra-thin, 2.5 m 24-karat gold-layered, low-mass Mylar® diaphragm for superior transient response
• 15 dB attenuation switch for handling extremely high SPLs
• Variable low-frequency filter provides greater flexibility to counteract proximity effect or to reduce mechanical rumble
• Integrated three-stage "pop" protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise
• Cardioid polar pattern reduces the pickup of unwanted sounds
• Internal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise
• Superior build construction withstands daily use on the stage or in the studio

Applications
• Brass and woodwind instruments
• Orchestras, choirs, and wind ensembles
• Overhead miking of drums and percussion instruments
• Close-miking of acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, violins, drums, and percussion
• Low-frequency instruments such as double bass and kick drum
• Electric guitar and bass amplifiers
• Vocals and speech
• Room ambience
Note:Sound quality is strongly affected by microphone location and room acoustics. To achieve the best overall sound for a particular application, it may be necessary to experiment with microphone placement and room treatments.
