Specifications

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.

Features

• A mechanical polar pattern switch for highly consistent cardioid and true omnidirectional polar patterns. Provides flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications
• Ultra-thin, 2.5 micron, 24 karat gold-layered, low mass Mylar diaphragm for superior transient response
• Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response, no crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortion
• Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors
• Subsonic filter eliminates low frequency rumble (less than 17 Hz) caused by mechanical vibration
• Three-position switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
• Three-position switchable low-frequency filter to reduce background noise and counteract proximity effect

Highlights

This great mic package comes with 4 mogami 20’ studio cables.  You are only as good as your weakest link.  Don’t let your cable alter the sound results you are looking for. The KSM141 mixture into this package elevates the sound by offering a dual pattern.

• 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
• Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interference

CTS Insight

The KSM141 presence offers a dual function possibility.  The mic can be added as a cardioid tight pattern on either end of the choir…or they can be used efficiently as an omnidirectional pattern to add ambient congregational sound into the mix for a fuller, well balanced feel.

Price

$1590 to $1790 depending upon options such as studio boom stands, and Mogami studio cables to enhance and complete your package. You may also consider our CTS custom dual mic hanging hardware.
