Superior build quality ensures top-shelf sound

Over 90 years of mic-building experience went into the KSM32’s design, and it shows. Its super-thin, 2.5-micrometer 24-karat gold-layered, low-mass Mylar diaphragm exhibits superior transient response, while its embossed, high-compliance diaphragm supplies extended low-frequency response and consistent off-axis rejection. Class A, transformerless preamplifier circuitry eliminates crossover distortion for improved linearity across the entire frequency range. On top of that, the KSM32’s rock-solid build construction can easily withstand daily use onstage and in the studio.

A time-tested studio workhorse with pro-level features

The Shure KSM32 is jam-packed with the pro-level features you’d expect from a microphone of this caliber. An internal shockmount minimizes handling and stand noise, while an integrated 3-stage protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noises. A -15dB pad tackles high-SPL sources like a champ, while a variable highpass filter counteracts proximity effect and mechanical rumble. Here, we’ve found the KSM32 to be a top performer in critical applications. It captures a variety of sources — vocals and instruments alike — with the utmost in transparency, and can handle loud sources like drums, percussion, and guitar amplifiers. If you want crystal-clear recordings, use what pros have used for decades — the Shure KSM32.
