What are the KSM141's main features?

The KSM141 is a dual-pattern end-addressed condenser microphoneCondenser microphones are more sensitive, give a smooth, natural sound and need to be powered.Read moreGo to the glossary with a rotating collar, allowing easy switching between a consistent cardioidPicks up most sound in front of the microphone and some from the sides. It is less susceptible to feedback in high volume environments.Read moreGo to the glossary or true omnidirectionalEqually sensitive to sound from all directions, but cannot be „aimed“ to isolate one area.Read moreGo to the glossary polar patternPolar pattern describes how well the microphone hears sound from different directions.Read moreGo to the glossary for smooth and extremely focused sound reproduction. Designed for studio use, yet rugged enough for live applications, the KSM141 can withstand extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL).

What characteristics can I expect when using a KSM141?

The KSM141 microphone can withstand extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). It has a high output level, low self noise and reproduces low frequencyThis is how many times a sound or radio wave oscillates in one second.Read moreGo to the glossary sounds exceptionally well. With a switchable polar patternPolar pattern describes how well the microphone hears sound from different directions.Read moreGo to the glossary (omni & cardioid) and three-position switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) the KSM141 is extremely versatile and can be used in studio or live settings.
