Overview
Shure KSM32/CG Embossed Single Diaphragm Microphone
Shure KSM32/CG Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Charcoal Gray. Large-diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Gold-layered Mylar Diaphragm, Transformerless Preamplifier, Pad, Highpass Filter, Swivel Mount, and Carrying Bag
This super-clean large-diaphragm microphone boasts a gold-layered, low-mass Mylar diaphragm for superior transient response, along with a transformerless preamplifier for crystal-clear sound. What’s more, its embossed, high-compliance diaphragm exhibits extended low-frequency response and consistent off-axis rejection. The KSM32’s cardioid polar pattern rejects unwanted sounds, while an internal shockmount minimizes handling and stand noise. You also get an integrated 3-stage protection grille to reduce plosives. A -15dB pad and variable highpass filter round out the KSM32’s impressive feature set.
