SHURE KSM40C Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Featuring a precision-engineered 1" capsule, the KSM40C delivers a natural, detailed sound with rich low-frequency and high-frequency details that blend beautifully into a mix without harshness or brightness. A patented backplate design controls diaphragm behavior to eliminate sharp resonances. Detailed, smooth sound with a rich low end. The uniform cardioid polar pattern focuses on the source and minimizes room and bleed, making placement quick and predictable in multi-microphone sessions or in less-than-ideal spaces, while a smooth proximity effect provides greater creative control. An included shock mount and pop filter isolate the microphone from rumble and vibrations and block plosives. Also includes a hard mount, premium case, and threaded adapter. Ideal for capturing rich nuances in vocals and instruments, including upright bass, guitar amps, and kick drum.
