A selection of large diaphragm microphone from Shure, including cardioid, multi-pattern, and dual diaphragm models. Often found in professional recording studios, these condenser microphones deliver 'smooth and neutral' sound reproduction.
KSM32C Cardioid
Shure KSM32C is a cardioid microphone that features a 0.75-inch capsule with embossed Mylar diaphragm. This enables the microphone to deliver a smooth, balanced response and 'exceptional' low-frequency performance that is more common in 1-inch capsule designs. Shure have designed the microphone for for vocals, instruments, drum overheads, and ensembles, and it is available in two bundled kits for studio and stage applications. KSM32C has a tuned cardioid pattern that delivers a high level of off-axis rejection (up to 37db down at 180 degrees), allowing a more focussed pickup on the source required and not surrounding instruments.

Designed for capturing vocals and instruments, including upright bass, guitar amps and kick drum, KSM40C is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone that features a 'precision-engineered' 1-inch capsule allowing a natural sound with rich low-frequency and high-frequency detail. A proprietary backplate design controls diaphragm behaviour, eliminating sharp resonances. The uniform cardioid polar pattern focuses the source while minimising 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 isolate the microphone from rumble and vibration and block plosives. Also includes a hard mount, a premium case, and a threaded adapter.
Frequency range: 20Hz - 20kHz. Sensitivity: -33.5dBV. Self-noise: 7.5dBA. Maximum sound pressure: 138dB SPL, 5000ohm load, no pad; 153dB SPL, 5000ohm load, with 15dB pad. Output impedance: 70ohms, +/-5. Power requirement: 48V phantom. Weight: 285g
Featuring selectable polar patterns including cardioid, omnidirectional, and bidirectional, Shure KSM44MP is a dual-diaphragm design with 1-inch capsule. The microphone has been designed to delivers natural clarity and a gentle, high-frequency lift that enhances subtle details while remaining smooth - therefore employing in modern production styles of airy vocal texture, subtle overtones, and delicate instrumentation is recommended by Shure. The dual-diaphragm architecture stabilises sensitivity and pattern consistency, improving off-axis control at low frequencies for cleaner multi-mic results. An included shock mount and pop filter isolate the microphone from rumble and vibration and block plosives. Also includes a premium case, a hard mount, and a threaded adapter for a complete accessories suite.
Frequency range: 20Hz - 20kHz. Sensitivity: --30dBV, cardioid; -35dBV, omnidirectional/bidirectional. Self-noise: 5dBA, cardioid; -7dBA, omnidirectional; 8dBA, bidirectional. Maximum sound pressure: 135dB SPL, 5000ohm load, no pad; 150dB SPL, 5000ohm load, with 15dB pad. Output impedance: 47ohms, +/-5. Power requirement: 48V phantom. Weight: 295g
