The KSM141/SL ST PAIR from Shure is a stereo pair of switchable-polar-pattern condenser studio microphones designed for instrument recording and sound reinforcement. The capsule's pattern is switchable between omnidirectional and cardioid pick up. Omnidirectional offers a more generous pickup area while cardioid offers attenuation of noise and ambiance at the off-axis sections of the microphone. In addition, the microphone offers a wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response making it a flexible solution for a variety of applications. The KSM141/SL's element features a permanently biased transducer design resulting in clean, accurate signal reproduction and frequency response. The transformerless Class-A output circuitry provides a noise-free-output signal path while maintaining high gain levels.
Features:
End-address, small-diaphragm condenser mic pair that’s tailor-made for instruments
Sounds great on everything — excels on violins, mandolins, acoustic guitars, and drum overheads
Dual-pattern design (cardioid and omnidirectional) offers amazing flexibility
Super-thin, gold-layered Mylar diaphragm exhibits superior transient response
Transformerless preamplifier yields transparency, fast transient response, and near-zero crossover, harmonic, and inter-modulation distortion
Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors
Subsonic filter eliminates the sub-17Hz low-frequency rumble caused by mechanical vibration
3-position pad (0dB, -15dB, and -2 dB) for handling high-SPL sources
3-position highpass filter switch for counteracting proximity effect and reducing stand vibration noise
Includes a stereo microphone adapter, stand adapter, windscreen, and carrying case
