Shure KSM32 is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone designed for studio vocals and instrument pickup. It uses a transformerless output and an internally shock-mounted element to minimize mechanical noise and maximize headroom. The mic operates on phantom power (48 V) and provides a broad response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with a smooth high end and controlled proximity effect. It features a balanced XLR output and rugged all-metal construction.
