Description

he Shure KSM141 is a large diaphragm end-addressed condenser microphone with mechanically switching dual polar patterns (cardioid and omnidirectional). Designed for studio use, yet rugged enough for live applications, the KSM141 can withstand extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). Its low self-noise and extended frequency response make it ideal for recording musical instruments.


Performance Characteristics

- Extended frequency response
- Low self noise
- Exceptional reproduction of low-frequency sounds
- Can withstand high sound pressure levels (SPL)
- High output level
- No crossover distortion
- Uniform polar response
- Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interference

Applications

Some typical applications for the KSM141 are listed below. Microphone use, however, is a matter of personal taste. The KSM141 may be used for a variety of applications other than those listed.

- Acoustic instruments -- such as piano, guitar, drums, percussion, strings
- Wind instruments -- brass and woodwind
- Low frequency instruments -- such as double bass, electric bass, kick drum
- Overhead miking -- drums or percussion
- Ensembles -- choral or orchestral
- Room ambiance pick-up -- guitar amplifier or drums

Both the acoustic environment and microphone placement strongly affect the sound obtained from miking a source. You may need to experiment with microphone placement and room treatments to achieve the best overall sound for each application.

Cardioid/Omnidirectional

Output Impedance:
150 ohms (actual)

Attenuation Switch:
0 dB,15 dB, or 25 dB attenuation

Low Frequency Response Switch:
Flat; -6 db/octave below 115 Hz;
-18 dB/octave below 80 Hz

Phantom Power:
48 Vdc +/- 4 Vdc (IEC­268­15/DIN 45 596), positive pins 2 and 3

Current Drain:
4.65 mA typical at 48 Vdc

Common Mode Rejection:
>50 dB, 20 Hz to 20 kHz

20 mm (0.8 in.) diameter, 146 mm (5.75 in.) long;
156 grams (5.5 oz.)

Sensitivity (typical, at 1000 Hz; 1 Pa = 94 dB SPL)
­-37 dBV/Pa

Self­noise (typical, equivalent SPL; A-weighted, IEC 651)
14 dB

Maximum SPL:
5000 ohm load (Attenuator on): 145 (160, 170) dB

2500 ohm load (Attenuator on): 139 (154, 164) dB

1000 ohm load (Attenuator on): 134 (149, 159) dB

Output Clipping Level:
