Multi-purpose Premier bi-directional ribbon microphone crafted with matched polar pattern symmetry.

The KSM353 is best suited to intimate vocal applications.

Ribbon microphones are renowned for being extremely delicate. The KSM353’s high-tensile strength, toughness and shape memory of Roswellite™ ribbon material replaces traditional foil ribbons for superior resilience at extreme SPLs and allows the microphone to be more durable.

The KSM313/ED and KSM353/NE microphones are both hand assembled in the USA from state-of-the art transducers, transformers and metals.

Features:

• Bi-directional polar pattern delivers premier, completely symmetrical audio with superior off-axis rejection
• Revolutionary Roswellite™ proprietary ribbon material replaces traditional foil ribbons with high tensile strength, toughness and shape memory that provides superior resilience at extreme SPLs
• Custom ribbon motor assembly tailors bass response without attenuating the overall output for full low and mid ranges, and superior upper range presence from a rising frequency response
• Double-shielded matched full-sized transformer minimises signal loss and maximises output while reducing magnetic and RF interference from 90 degree placement, offset relative to the ribbon
• 146 dB SPL across 30 – 15,000 Hz frequency response ideal for capturing fast transients in vocals, acoustic instruments and concert halls
• Legendary Shure quality and superior construction from hand-assembly of machined steel, silver, gold and aluminium materials, and housed in a pure stainless steel casing
• Spring-loaded suspension shock mount for flexible, fully-isolated stand mounting
• Upright protective wood case included for storage when not in use
