GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Shure R KSM141 is an end-addressed condenser microphone with
mechanically switching dual polar patterns (cardioid and omnidirectional).
Designed for studio use, yet rugged enough for live applications, the KSM141 can
withstand extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). Its low self-noise and
extended frequency response make it ideal for recording musical instruments.
FEATURES
SA mechanical polar pattern switch for highly consistent cardioid and true
omnidirectional polar patterns. Provides flexibility in a wide variety of recording
applications.
SUltra-thin, 2.5 µ m, 24 karat gold-layered, low mass Mylar
R
diaphragm for
superior transient response
SClass A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely
fast transient response, no crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic and
intermodulation distortion
SPremium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external
connectors
SSubsonic filter eliminates low frequency rumble (less than 17 Hz) caused by
mechanical vibration
SThree-position switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for handling
extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
SThree-position switchable low-frequency filter to reduce background noise
and counteract proximity effect
