Shure KSM32/CG Cardioid Condenser Microphone

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

The Shure KSM 32 is ideal for both studio and live sound applications. It is a ruggedly built, large diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone. Its Class-A circuitry and extended "sweet spot" delivers a smooth, detailed response, making it well-suited for recording sources from piano to percussion or violin to vocals.

The KSM32/CG has a non-reflective, charcoal-gray finish for situations where less microphone visibility is preferred, such as live sound and stage production.

This product is supplied with a ShureLockTM swivel mount, Padded, zippered carrying bag.
