A selection of large diaphragm microphone from Shure, including cardioid, multi-pattern, and dual diaphragm models. Often found in professional recording studios, these condenser microphones deliver 'smooth and neutral' sound reproduction.
KSM32 Cardioid
Shure KSM32 offers an extended frequency response for an open, natural sounding reproduction of the original sound source. Typical applications for the KSM32 include solo, background, voice-over, and broadcasting vocals; acoustic, wind and percussive instruments; room ambience, and guitar amplification. KSM32 is a versatile microphone and one that may be used for a variety of applications other than those listed.
The class A, transformerless preamplifier circuitry eliminates cross-over distortion to give improved linearity across the full frequency range, whilst a 15dB attenuation switch allows for the handling of extremely high sound pressure levels. A switchable low-frequency filter provides greater flexibility to reduce background noise or to counteract proximity effect, and integrated three-stage pop protection grille reduces "pop" and other breath noise. The microphone has an internal shock mount to reduce the transmission of handling noise.

KSM42 is a side-address, cardioid condenser microphone that features a large dual-diaphragm capsule, and has been optimized for vocal recording and performance applications. Employing a tailored frequency response and both internal and external pop filtering, the single-pattern, dual-diaphragm design of the KSM42, featuring 'Prethos Advanced Preamplifier Technology' exhibits a smooth proximity control and 'ultra-wide' dynamic range. KSM42 is said to be the premier choice for capturing sophisticated, powerful and intimate vocal performances.
The dual-diaphragm design an active front with 2.5 micron 24-karat gold 1-inch Mylar diaphragm and passive back diaphragm delivers 'exceptional' control of low frequency proximity effect. An open cage ShureLock rubber suspension shock mount with low-profile magnetic pop filter allows a natural space between performer and microphone, whilst the hardened low carbon steel grille and internal shock mount reduce unwanted handling and stand noise.
Included accessories: 1x A42SM Shurelock rubber suspension shock mount, 1x A42PF magnetic pop-filter, 1x AK42C zippered carrying case, 1x A42VB protective velveteen pouch, and 1x A42OR spare set of rubber suspension shock mount o-rings.
Optional accessories: A32M swivel mount, A32WS windscreen.

KSM44A Cardioid, Bidirectional, Omnidirectional
KSM44A is a premium, large-diaphragm, side-address condenser microphone with cardioid, omnidirectional, and bidirectional polar pattern options. The microphone features externally biased, dual 1-inch diaphragms, internal pop filtering and 'Prethos Advanced Preamplifier Technology' to aid minimise self-noise. The class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier provides a fast transient response and no crossover distortion, whilst minimizing harmonic and intermodulation distortions. A subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17Hz, whilst the switchable 15dB pad allows for the handling of extremely high sound pressure levels. A total dynamic range of 127dB and a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz allow flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications. A 3-position, switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted stand vibration noise or counteract proximity effect. The integrated three-stage 'pop' protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise
