An embossed single-diaphragm, side-address, cardioid condenser microphone for highly critical studio recording and live sound productions. The Shure KSM32 offers an extended frequency response for an open, natural sounding reproduction of the original sound source.
Features:
KSM32/CG - Charcoal Gray, with swivel mount and carrying case, phantom power required
KSM32/SL - Champagne, with swivel mount, shock mount, aluminum case, phantom power required
Class A, transformerless preamplifier circuitry eliminates cross-over distortion for improved linearity
across the full frequency range.
Embossed, high-compliance diaphragm provides extended low-frequency response.
Ultra-thin, gold-layered, low-mass, MylarŪ diaphragm for excellent transient response
15 dB attenuation switch for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL)
Switchable low-frequency filter provides greater flexibility to reduce background noise or to counteract proximity effect.
Integrated three-stage pop protection grille reduces "pop" and other breath noise
Internal shock mount reduces transmission of handling noise
Replacement cartridge: RK374
Performance Characteristics
Extended frequency response
Very low self-noise
Exceptional low-frequency reproduction
High output level
High input SPL capability
No cross-over distortion
Extremely uniform polar response
Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interference
Applications
Some typical applications for the KSM32 are listed below. Microphone use, however, is a matter of
personal taste. The KSM32 may be used for a variety of applications other than those listed.
Voice -- solo, background, voice-over, broadcasting
Acoustic instruments -- such as piano, guitar, drums, percussion, strings
Wind instruments -- brass and woodwind
Low frequency instruments -- such as double bass, electric bass, kick drum
Overhead miking -- drums or percussion
Ensembles -- choral or orchestral
Room ambiance pick-up -- guitar amplifier or drums
Both the acoustic environment and microphone placement have significant effects on the sound
obtained when miking a source. You may need to experiment with these variables to achieve the
best overall sound for each application.
Specifications:
Cartridge Type -
Permanently-biased Condenser
Frequency Response -
20 to 20,000 Hz
Directional Polar Pattern -
Cardioid
Output Impedance -
150 ohms (actual)
Attenuation Switch -
0 or -15 dB attenuation
Low Frequency response switch -
flat; -6 db/octave below 115 Hz;
-18 dB/octave below 80 Hz
Phantom Power -
48 Vdc +/- 4 Vdc (IEC-268-15/DIN 45 596), positive pins 2 and 3
Current Drain -
4.65 mA typical at 48 Vdc
Common Mode Rejection -
> 50 dB, 20 Hz to 20 kHz
Polarity -
Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on output pin 2 relative to pin 3
Dimensions and Weight -
55.9 mm (2.20 in.) maximum body diameter, 187 mm (7.37 in.) long
490 grams (17.3 oz.)
Sensitivity (typical, at 1000 Hz; 1 Pa = 94 dB SPL) -
-36 dBV/Pa (16 mV)
Self-noise (typical, equivalent SPL; A-weighted, IEC 651) -
13 dB
Maximum SPL at 1000 Hz -
139 (154) dB
133 (148) dB
Output Clipping Level* -
2500 ohm load (Attenuator on): +9 dBV

*20 Hz to 20 kHz; THD < 1%. THD of microphone preamplifier when applied input signal is equivalent
to cartridge output at specified SPL.
**S/N ratio is difference between 94 dB SPL and equivalent SPL of self-noise, A-weighted.
