Shure KSM141/SL Dual-Pattern (Cardioid/Omnidirectional) Studio Condenser Microphone (Champagne), Foam Windscreen and Carrying Case

Shure KSM141/SL Dual-Pattern (Cardioid/Omnidirectional) Studio Condenser Microphone (Champagne), Foam Windscreen and Carrying Case

The Shure’s KSM141/SL ST PAIR is a stereo pair of switchable-polar-pattern condenser studio microphones which is designed for instrument recording & sound reinforcement. The pattern of the capsule is switchable between omnidirectional and cardioid pick up. Omnidirectional is providing a more generous pickup area whereas cardioid offers attenuation of noise and ambiance at the microphone’s off-axis sections. Moreover, the microphone offers a wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response which makes it a flexible solution for a variety of applications. The KSM141/SL's element is featured with a permanently biased transducer design leading to a clean, accurate signal reproduction and frequency response. The transformerless Class-A output circuitry is providing a noise-free-output signal path while maintaining high gain levels. 

There is a 3-position low-frequency roll-off switch, eliminating low-frequency rumble noise and counteracting proximity effect. The KSM141/SL handles high sound-pressure levels and features a 3-position pad switch providing attenuation at 0, 15, 25 dB. This allows for confident miking of instruments high in transient response such as drums, percussion, and brass. The microphone is also suitable for recording piano, strings, guitar, and woodwinds. The KSM141/SL ships with a case, two microphone clips, two foam wind screens, and the A27M stereo stand adapter.

Switchable Patterns

The KSM141/SL features switchable polar patterns. Omnidirectional offers a generous pickup pattern suitable for recording ambiance, vocal groups etc. The cardioid pattern is tighter and provides effective rejection of off-axis signal.

Class-A Transformerless Circuitry

The transformerless, Class-A output circuitry provides a noise free output signal path while maintaining high gain levels.

3-Position Low-Frequency Roll-Off Switch

The KSM141/SL provides flexible low-frequency attenuation, eliminating low-frequency noise and rumble.

3-Position Pad Switch

The 0, 15, and 25 dB Pad switch adds greater SPL-handling allowing the microphone to withstand high audio levels without distortion.
