Shure Product Benefits
Shure designed and manufactured ¾" capsule features an embossed Mylar diaphragm, delivering a smooth response and exceptional low-frequency performance typically found in 1" capsules.
Aavailable in two bundled kits for studio and stage applications: The KSM32C/HM Stage Kit includes a hard mount, premium case and flocked velvet foam windscreen; while the KSM32C/SM Studio Kit includes a shock mount, magnetic pop filter, premium case and threaded adapter.
Exceptional Off-Axis Rejection
The KSM32’s precisely-tuned cardioid pattern delivers exceptional off-axis rejection (up to 37db down at 180 degrees) ensuring that surrounding instruments and room reflections stay out of your mix. Combined with ultra-low self-noise, the result is cleaner, more isolated recordings that preserve the detail of your source. Ideal for capturing upright bass, drum overheads, and ensemble sessions where clarity is key.
Flattest Voicing in the KSM Line
A remarkably even response that delivers clarity without hype. The KSM32’s neutral sound lets you shape tones intentionally without fighting against exaggerated peaks and surprises in the top end. Reveals the source without imposing its own character.
Premium Materials, Compact Design
Compact all-metal design will fit where other large diaphragm condensers won’t while ensuring long-term durability for studio and stage use. Lightweight, aluminum construction adds durability while keeping the mic intentionally lighter for easier placement on boom stands. Precision-machined steel grille showcases the mic’s gold-layered capsule.
