Shure KSM141 – Professional condenser microphone with versatile applications

The Shure KSM141 is a technologically advanced condenser microphone designed for the most demanding audio productions. With its unique dual polar pattern system – cardioid and omnidirectional – this microphone offers unparalleled flexibility across a variety of recording environments. The rotating collar allows quick and intuitive switching of the directional characteristic without disassembling the unit.

Exceptional sound quality for studio and stage

The KSM141 was built with studio applications in mind, yet its rugged construction also allows unrestricted use during live performances. The microphone features a very low self‑noise level, ensuring clean and transparent recordings even with delicate sound sources. Its extended frequency response faithfully reproduces acoustic nuances, from low bass to the highest harmonics.

Unmatched resistance to high acoustic pressure levels

One of the key advantages of the Shure KSM141 is its ability to operate in extreme acoustic environments. The microphone effortlessly withstands very high sound pressure levels (SPL), making it an excellent choice for recording loud sources such as drums, brass instruments, or guitar amplifiers. This feature eliminates distortion risk even during the most dynamic moments of a recording.
