Features

Uniform bidirectional polar pattern throughout the frequency range with excellent off-axis rejection
Roswellite® proprietary ribbon material replaces traditional foil ribbons with high tensile strength, toughness and shape memory that provides superior resilience at extreme SPLs
Custom ribbon motor assembly provides full low and mid ranges with superior upper presence from a rising response
Double-shielded matched full-sized transformer minimizes signal loss and maximizes output while reducing magnetic and RF interference from 90 degree placement, offset relative to the ribbon
146dB SPL / 30 – 15,000 Hz frequency response ideal for capturing fast transients in vocals, acoustic instruments and concert hall performances
Quality construction from hand-assembly of machined steel, silver, gold and aluminum materials, and housed in a pure stainless steel casing

Description

Overview

The Shure KSM353 is a passive bidirectional ribbon microphone that provides clear, symmetrical audio with off-axis rejection. It features increased durability and a dual-sided transformer to minimize signal loss and stop RF interference.

This microphone is hand-assembled from custom steel, silver, gold, and aluminum components, and it features proprietary Roswellite® ribbon technology. The high-tensile strength, toughness, and shape memory of Roswellite® ribbon material replaces traditional foil ribbons for superior resilience at extreme SPLs.

The KSM353 is designed especially for vocal and acoustic performances in studio and concert hall applications.
