Shure KSM 141 ST Stereoset - The dual pattern microphones for instruments offer a transition between cardioid and omnidirectional patterns and provide extended frequency response, a pad for handling SPLs, a Mylar diaphragm with gold layers, and subsonic filters for low-frequency noise.
A mechanical polar pattern switch for extremely consistent cardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns. Provides flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications.
Ultra-thin Mylar® diaphragm, 2.5 microns thick, layered with 24-karat gold, with reduced mass for superior transient response.
Discreet Class A preamplifier, transformerless for transparency, extremely fast transient response, with no crossover distortion and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortion.
Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors.
The subsonic filter eliminates low-frequency noise (less than 17 Hz) caused by mechanical vibrations.
Switchable pad with three positions (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for managing extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL).
Switchable low-frequency filter in three positions to reduce background noise and counteract the proximity effect.
Features:
Extended frequency response.
Low self-noise.
Exceptional reproduction of low-frequency sounds.
Can withstand high acoustic pressure levels (SPL).
High output level.
No crossover distortion.
Uniform polar response.
Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interference.
Applications:
Acoustic instruments -- such as piano, guitar, drums, percussion, strings.
Wind instruments -- brass and woodwind.
Low-frequency instruments -- such as double bass, electric bass, drums.
Overhead microphone -- for drums or percussion.
Ensembles -- choral or orchestral.
Ambient pickup in the room -- guitar amplifier or drums.
KSM141 is a dual pattern condenser microphone with a rotating collar, allowing easy switching between a consistent cardioid pattern or a true omnidirectional polar pattern for smooth and extremely focused sound reproduction.
Designed for studio use, but robust 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.
