SHURE KSM40C
Estimated delivery in Italy between 11 and 15 September
1” capsule with controlled diaphragm
The heart of the Shure KSM40C is a 1” condenser capsule designed with a proprietary backplate that controls the diaphragm's behavior, eliminating unwanted resonances. This solution allows for detailed yet never aggressive high frequencies and a full, musical low-frequency response. In practical use, the KSM40C captures vocals and instruments with body and depth, without introducing harshness that would require invasive corrections during mixing.
Uniform cardioid pattern and proximity control
The Shure KSM40C's uniform cardioid polar pattern focuses on the source, reducing ambient noise and bleed, making positioning quick and predictable even in multi-microphone sessions or less-than-ideal environments. The gentle proximity effect offers direct creative control: moving the microphone closer results in a fuller and more present sound, while increasing the distance maintains a more neutral and balanced tone.
Extremely low self-noise
With an equivalent noise level of only 7.5 dBA and a signal-to-noise ratio of 86.5dB, the Shure KSM40C is particularly suited for recording the most delicate passages, capable of capturing nuances and best reproducing performances with a wide dynamic range. These specifications allow for the application of gain and compression without background noise becoming noticeable, a fundamental aspect in music productions, particularly in managing vocal and acoustic parts, and in high-level broadcast.
Dynamic range and sound pressure handling
The Shure KSM40C can handle very high sound pressure levels, up to 138dB SPL without the pad and up to 153dB SPL with the pad engaged. This feature makes it suitable for recording high-output sound sources such as guitar amplifiers, double basses, kick drums, and wind instruments, maintaining signal integrity and headroom.
Professional construction and accessories
The machined aluminum construction and precision-machined steel grille give the Shure KSM40C robustness and lightness, facilitating its positioning on stands and booms. The included accessories comprise a shock mount, magnetic pop filter, rigid mount, dedicated hard case, and threaded adapter, offering a complete solution for professional use.
