Shure KSM141SL Dual Pattern Studio Condenser Microphone Pair

Shure KSM141/SL Stereo Pair with (2) KSM141, (2) Foam Windscreens, A27M Stereo Microphone Adapter and Carrying Case

End-address condenser microphone with mechanically switching dual polar patterns.

Description
The Shure KSM141 is an end-addressed condenser microphone with mechanically switching dual polar patterns (cardioid and omnidirectional). Designed for studio use, yet rugged enough for live applications, the KSM141 can withstand extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). Its low self-noise and extended frequency response make it ideal for recording musical instruments.

Applications
The KSM137 will produce superior results in any application requiring a high quality microphone. Typical applications include: close miking of acoustic instruments, overhead miking of drums and percussion, electric guitar amplifiers, brass and woodwind instruments, room ambiance pick-up, orchestras, choirs, wind ensembles, and low-frequency instruments such as double bass and kick drum.

Performance Characteristics
The KSM137/SL microphones have: an extended frequency response, low self-noise, exceptional reproduction of low-frequency sounds, can withstand high sound pressure levels (SPL), high output level, no crossover distortion, uniform polar response, and superior common mode rejection and suppression of RFI (radio frequency interference).

Power Requirements
This microphone requires phantom power and performs best with a 48 Vdc supply (IEC-268-15/DIN 45 596). It can operate on voltages as low as 11 Vdc, but headroom and sensitivity will be decreased slightly. NOTE: Most modern mixers provide phantom power.
