Features a large dual-diaphragm optimized for smooth proximity control and ultra-wide dynamic range.

Cardioid polar pattern, extremely low self-noise with superior dynamic range. Incl. carrying case and shock mount.

Description

The design intent of the KSM42 was to craft a large-diaphragm side-address microphone for the primary application of human voice in controlled environments. Much forethought went into crafting the dual-diaphragm capsule to guarantee superior proximity control and a generous and broad "sweet spot", with extremely consistent sound quality below 1000Hz. With a max SPL of 139 dB and a gradual low-end frequency roll-off built in, pad and filter settings become redundant.

Prethos Advanced Preamplifier Technology consists of highly sophisticated, extremely transparent internal circuitry architectures that enable unprecedented seamless audio, maximizing audio quality for premium microphone performance.

The KSM42 ships with an open cage ShureLock rubber suspension shock mount and a low-profile Popper Stopper magnetic pop filter. This allows to setup the microphone and shock mount always with the same distance.

The KSM42 features a dual-diaphragm design with an active front, ultra thin (2.5 micron) 24-karat gold, low mass, 1-inch Mylar diaphragm, premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors.
