Shure SHURE KSM32C SM

Description

<h1 style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>Shure KSM32C SM</strong> is a kit that includes a padded hard case with zipper and handle, a shock mount with silicone elastic bands, a removable magnetic pop filter, and the <strong>KSM32C</strong> large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone. Its 3/4" capsule has a faithful response from 20Hz to 20kHz and can handle up to <strong>155dBSPL</strong> with the pad engaged. The <strong>KSM32C</strong> is suitable for professional use in both recording studios and home recording sessions for vocals, guitar or bass amplifiers, wind instruments, and percussion.</h1><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Large-diaphragm capsule, small microphone</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>3/4"</strong> capsule of the <strong>Shure KSM32C</strong> was designed to maintain <strong>the same performance as 1" capsules</strong>, thus allowing for a more compact microphone in line with the aesthetic needs of modern studios. Its small size makes it less intrusive in video shooting situations and therefore perfect for podcasting. Its compact format not only facilitates streaming and content creation but also simplifies its positioning within a drum kit during recording.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Cardioid pattern and source isolation</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The fixed cardioid polar pattern of the <strong>Shure KSM32C</strong> ensures effective rejection of rear and side sources, while maintaining a consistent off-axis response. This behavior is particularly useful in multi-track recording, where bleed control directly impacts the cleanliness and separation in the mix.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dynamic range and sound pressure handling</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>Shure KSM32C</strong> is designed to handle high dynamic sources without introducing distortion. We can therefore use the <strong>Shure KSM32C</strong> to mic amplifiers, percussion, and wind instruments, maintaining signal integrity and excellent headroom.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>High-pass filter and low-frequency control</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>80Hz integrated high-pass filter</strong> in the <strong>Shure KSM32C</strong> attenuates rumble, structural vibrations, and the proximity effect. This function is crucial in vocal recording and close miking, where controlling the low-frequency range directly impacts intelligibility and signal clarity.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Signal-to-noise ratio and low dynamic applications</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">With an intrinsic noise of only <strong>11dBSPL</strong> and a <strong>signal-to-noise ratio of 83 dB</strong>, the <strong>Shure KSM32C</strong> is also suitable for capturing the most delicate or low-dynamic elements. These specifications are particularly relevant in vocal applications, for acoustic instruments, and broadcasting.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Shure KSM32C SM Technical Specifications</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Type:</strong> large-diaphragm condenser microphone<br><strong>Polar pattern</strong>: cardioid<br><strong>Frequency response</strong>: 20 Hz – 20 kHz<br><strong>Sensitivity:</strong> –36 dBV/Pa (15.8 mV)<br><strong>Impedance:</strong> 150 ohms<br><strong>Signal-to-noise ratio:</strong> 83 dB<br><strong>Equivalent noise: </strong>11 dB SPL<br><strong>Maximum SPL:</strong> 140 dB (155 dB with pad)<br><strong>High-pass filter: </strong>80 Hz<br><strong>Attenuation pad:</strong> –15 dB<br><strong>Connector:</strong> 3-pin XLR<br><strong>Power:</strong> 48 V Phantom</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Included in the box:</strong> shock mount, magnetic pop filter, and dedicated case<br> </p>
