KSM32C/SM Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Soft Mount – Studio Kit

Natural Capture in Both Studio and Stage Environments – The KSM32C/SM Cardioid Condenser Microphone Studio Bundle

The Shure KSM32C is a cardioid condenser microphone engineered for clean, natural capture in both studio and stage environments. Featuring a precision 3/4″ capsule with an embossed Mylar diaphragm, the KSM32C delivers a smooth, balanced response with exceptional low-frequency performanceoften associated with larger 1″ capsule designs. Its precisely tuned cardioid polar pattern provides outstanding off-axis rejection to keep room reflections and nearby sources out of your mix, while ultra-low self-noise preserves detail and clarity for vocals, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, piano, and ensemble recording.

• Precision engineered 3/4″ capsule with embossed Mylar diaphragm for smooth, neutral response
• Cardioid pattern with exceptional off-axis rejection to reduce bleed and room reflections
• Ultra-low self-noise for cleaner, more isolated recordings
• Remarkably even voicing for clarity without hype or exaggerated top-end peaks
• Fast transient responseideal for vocals, acoustic/electric instruments, drum overheads, and piano
• Compact, all-metal design fits easily on tight stages and crowded studio setups
• Lightweight machined, anodized aluminum housing for durable, easy placement on boom stands
• Optional 15 dB pad capability for very high SPL sources

Choose the Stage Kit for rugged, gig-ready mounting and wind protection, or the Studio Kit for vibration isolation and plosive control. Either way, the KSM32C delivers the transparent, controllable tone engineers lovecapturing your source accurately, then letting you shape it intentionally with EQ and compression.
