Description

The Shure¬Æ KSM141 is a premium, end-address, condenser microphone with a unique rotating collar that allows for easy switching between a highly consistent cardioid or true omnidirectional polar pattern. Its class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier captures an extremely transparent sound, and a three-position attenuation switch and low-cut filter allow for handling of extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL) and controlled bass response. An ultra-thin, 24-karat gold-layered diaphragm and superior build quality make the KSM141 ideal for studio use, yet rugged enough for the most demanding live applications.

Features

A mechanical polar pattern switch for highly consistent cardioid and true omnidirectional polar patterns, providing flexibility in a wide variety of recording and performance applications
Ultra-thin, 2.5 Œºm 24-karat gold-layered, low-mass Mylar¬Æ diaphragm for superior transient response
Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response, no crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic and inter-modulation 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 attenuation switch (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for handling extremely high SPLs
Three-position low-frequency filter switch reduces stand vibration noise and counteracts proximity effect
