The Shure KSM141/SL Small Diaphragm Microphone is a dual pattern instrument microphone featuring an extended frequency response, a pad for handling high SPLs, a gold-layered Mylar diaphragm and a subsonic filter for low frequency rumble. Perfect for studio use, yet rugged enough for live applications.
The Shure KSM141/SL Small Diaphragm Microphone is a dual-pattern end-addressed condenser microphone with a rotating collar, allowing easy switching between a consistent cardioid or true omnidirectional polar pattern for smooth and extremely focused sound reproduction. Designed for studio use, yet rugged enough for live applications, the Shure KSM141/SL can withstand extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). Its low self-noise and extended frequency response make it ideal for recording musical instruments.
The Shure KSM141/SL Small Diaphragm Microphone can withstand extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). It has a high output level, low self noise and reproduces low frequency sounds exceptionally well. With a switchable polar pattern (omni & cardioid) and three-position switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) the Shure KSM141/SL is extremely versatile and can be used in studio or live settings.
