Key Features
------------
* Class A, transformerless preamplifier circuitry eliminates
cross-over distortion for improved linearity across the full
frequency range.
* Embossed, high-compliance diaphragm provides extended
low-frequency response.
* Ultra-thin, gold-layered, low-mass, Mylar diaphragm for
excellent transient response
* 15 dB attenuation switch for handling extremely high sound
pressure levels (SPL)
* Switchable low-frequency filter provides greater flexibility to
reduce background noise or to counteract proximity effect.
Frequency response.
Polar pattern.
* Integrated three-stage pop protection grille reduces "pop" and
other breath noise
* Internal shock reduces transmission of handling noise
Performance Characteristics
* Extended frequency response
* Very low self-noise
* Exceptional low-frequency reproduction
* High output level
* High input SPL capability
* No cross-over distortion
* Extremely uniform polar response
* Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio
frequency interference
Applications
Some typical applications for the KSM32 are listed below.
Microphone use, however, is a matter of personal taste. The KSM32
may be used for a variety of applications other than those
listed.
* Voice -- solo, background, voice-over, broadcasting
* Acoustic instruments -- such as piano, guitar, drums,
percussion, strings
* Wind instruments -- brass and woodwind
* Low frequency instruments -- such as double bass, electric
bass, kick drum
* Overhead miking -- drums or percussion
* Ensembles -- choral or orchestral
* Room ambiance pick-up -- guitar amplifier or drums
