SHURE KSM 32/CG CARDIOID STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE
Featuring integral pop protection and shock-mounting plus a large-diaphragm true condenser capsule and transparent Class-A circuitry, the charcoal gray Shure KSM32/CG microphone is built to deliver excellent transient response and neutral tone in the studio or on stage. Its flat frequency response and selectable settings—two low-cut filter options and a -15 dB pad—make the KSM32/CG honest and versatile, so it can be used on anything from vocals and guitars to drums and piano. The CG model comes with a ShureLock stand mount and zippered storage bag.
The uniform cardioid polar pattern of the KSM32/CG helps reduce the capture of stage bleed and background noise, allowing you to achieve more gain and stronger direct sound. The built-in pop protection utilizes three separate layers to minimize noise from vocal plosives, breaths, and even light wind. Internal shock-mounting helps to decouple the mic from sources of vibration that could otherwise transfer from the mic body to the capsule. Being a solid-state XLR condenser mic, the KSM32/CG requires 48V phantom power.
