Shure KSM40C Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Product Description

Featuring a precision engineered 1” capsule, the Shure KSM40C large diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone delivers natural, detailed audio with rich low-end, and high frequency detail that sits beautifully in a mix without brightness or harshness. A proprietary backplate design controls diaphragm behavior to eliminate sharp resonances. The uniform cardioid polar pattern focuses the source while minimizing room and bleed, making placement fast and predictable in multi-mic sessions or less than ideal spaces, and smooth proximity effect gives more creative control. An included shock mount and pop filter isolates the microphone from rumbles and vibrations and blocks out plosives. Also includes hard mount, premium case and threaded adapter. Ideal for capturing rich nuances in vocals and instruments including upright bass, guitar amps and kick drum.

PRECISION ENGINEERED

The precision engineered 1” capsule delivers smooth, high frequency detail that sits beautifully in a mix without brightness or harshness. A proprietary backplate design controls diaphragm behavior to eliminate sharp resonances. Focuses on the source while minimizing room and bleed, making placement fast and predictable in multi-mic sessions or less than ideal spaces. The smooth proximity effect gives more creative control: move closer for a larger-than-life sound or pull back for a more neutral tone. Supports building of clean tracks with more headroom. Capture quiet passages, add gain and compression when needed without hiss building up.

SLEEK, MODERN DESIGN WITH PREMIUM MATERIALS

Lightweight, aluminum construction adds durability while keeping the mic intentionally lighter for easier placement on boom stands. Precision-machined steel grille showcases the mic’s gold-layered capsule. The included shock mount and detachable pop filter dampen undesired noises including rumbles, vibrations and plosive “pop” sounds. Premium carrying case tailored to store the mic in its shock mount. Threaded adapter and additional set of 8 shock mount bands also included.
