Shure KSM141/SL Stereo Dual-Pattern Instrument Microphone, Pair

Under the umbrella of superior audio equipment, the KSM141/SL Stereo Dual-Pattern Instrument Microphone Pair from Shure stands out as an exceptional tool for both instrument recording and sound reinforcement. This pair of condenser studio microphones is equipped with a switchable polar pattern, allowing users to alternate between a true omnidirectional and a cardioid pattern by simply rotating a collar on the microphone capsule. The omnidirectional pattern is designed to offer a broader pick-up area, capturing sound from all directions, while the cardioid pattern focuses on sound from the front, effectively attenuating noise and ambiance from the off-axis sections of the microphones. This makes these microphones a versatile solution for a multitude of audio recording scenarios.Each microphone in the KSM141/SL Stereo pair boasts a wide frequency response, ensuring accurate capture of a diverse range of sounds. The permanently biased transducer design of each microphone element ensures clean, precise signal reproduction and consistent frequency response, contributing to the overall audio quality.The microphones are engineered with transformerless Class-A output circuitry, which provides a noise-free output signal path while maintaining high gain levels. This feature ensures that the audio captured is as clear and true to the original source as possible. To further enhance the audio quality, a three-position low frequency roll-off switch is included to eliminate low frequency rumble noise and counteract any proximity effect. The microphones are capable of handling high sound pressure levels and feature a three-position pad that provides attenuation at 0, 15, and 25 dB. With their low self-noise and extended frequency response, the KSM141/SL Stereo Dual-Pattern Instrument Microphone Pair is ideal for recording a variety of musical instruments. Moreover, their design and features make them equally suitable for ensemble or overhead miking applications, making them a versatile addition to any professional audio setup.
