Shure KSM141 — Dual Pattern Condenser Microphone
KSM141 Overview
The Shure KSM141 is an end-address condenser microphone engineered for professional instrument capture across live and studio environments. It features mechanically switchable dual polar patterns, allowing seamless transition between cardioid and omnidirectional operation to suit a wide range of placement and acoustic requirements. The microphone incorporates a gold-layered Mylar diaphragm for consistent transient response, along with an extended frequency response pad for handling high SPL sources. It is well suited for audio engineers, system integrators, and touring professionals who require reliable, versatile instrument microphones.
The KSM141 also includes a subsonic filter to suppress low-frequency rumble, making it effective in environments where mechanical or environmental noise is a concern.
Key Features
