Designed for studio use, yet rugged enough for live
applications, the Shure KSM141 small diaphragm end-addressed
condenser microphone can withstand extremely high sound pressure
levels (SPL). Its low self-noise and extended frequency response
make it ideal for musical instruments. It also features
a rotating collar, allowing easy sw between a highly
consistent cardioid or true omnidirectional polar pattern for
smooth and extremely focused sound reproduction.

Key Features
------------
* A mechanical polar pattern switch for highly consistent
cardioid and true omnidirectional polar patterns. Provides
flexibility in a wide variety of applications
* Ultra-thin, 2.5 micron, 24 karat gold-layered, low mass Mylar
diaphragm for superior transient response
* Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for
transparency, extremely fast transient response, no crossover
distortion, and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortion
Frequency response.
Polar pattern.
* Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal
and external connectors
* Subsonic filter eliminates low frequency rumble (less than 17
Hz) caused by mechanical vibration
* Three-position switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for
handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
* Three-position switchable low-frequency filter to reduce
background noise and counteract proximity effect Performance
Characteristics
* Extended frequency response
* Low self-noise
* Exceptional reproduction of low-frequency sounds
* Can withstand high sound pressure levels (SPL)
* High output level
* No crossover distortion
* Uniform polar response
* Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio
frequency interference Applications
Some typical applications for the KSM141 are listed below.
Microphone use, however, is a matter of personal taste. The
KSM141 may be used for a variety of applications other than those
listed.
* Acoustic instruments -- such as piano, guitar, drums,
percussion, strings
* Wind instruments -- brass and woodwind
* Low frequency instruments -- such as double bass, electric
bass, kick drum
* Overhead miking -- drums or percussion
* Ensembles -- choral or orchestral
* Room ambiance pick-up -- guitar amplifier or drums Both the
acoustic environment and microphone placement strongly affect the
sound obtained from miking a source. You may need to experiment
with microphone placement and room s to achieve the best
overall sound for each application.
