Shure KSM141 SL Condenser microphone
Shure KSM141 SL instrument microphone, PRO, champagne, condenser, cardioid / omni switchable, (acoustic instruments)
From the very first moment the KSM141 opens up a new recording experience to its user. The condenser microphone offers the choice between cardioid and omnidirectional patterns without additional electronics or changing the capsule. With its triple pad switch, the KSM141 masters the extremely high sound pressure levels of percussion instruments as well as the finest nuances of an acoustic guitar. In addition, the KSM141 has low self-noise, a wide transmission range, a high-pass filter that can be switched in three positions and a Class A preamplifier circuit that eliminates unwanted distortion and ensures excellent linearity.
