The Shure KSM353/ED is a premier bidirectional ribbon microphone built around Roswellite – Shure’s shape-memory ribbon material that survives SPL and handling that would destroy traditional foil ribbons, rated to 146 dB. Hand-assembled in the USA from machined steel, silver, gold and aluminium, with a custom double-shielded transformer mounted perpendicular to the ribbon for moving-coil-level output. Supplied with the A300SM ShureLock wire-rope shock mount.
