Description

Shure KSM32

The cardioid condenser microphone delivers a smooth, neutral sound reproduction with full character and consists of a microphone, a padded, zippered carrying bag, and a swivel mount.

An embossed single-diaphragm, side-address, cardioid condenser microphone for highly critical studio recording and live sound productions. The Shure KSM32 offers an extended frequency response for an open, natural-sounding reproduction of the original sound source.

  • Integrated three-stage pop protection grille reduces “pop” and other breath noise
  • Internal shock mount reduces transmission of handling noise
  • Replacement cartridge: RK374
