Dual-pattern, end-addressed instrument mic good for live or studio-only situations.
The KSM141 is a dual-pattern end-addressed condenser microphone with a rotating collar, allowing easy switching between a consistent cardioid or true omnidirectional polar pattern 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). Its low self-noise and extended frequency response make it ideal for recording musical instruments.

Shure KSM141 Dual Pattern Condenser Mic Features:
- A mechanical polar pattern switch for highly consistent cardioid and true omnidirectional polar patterns provides flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications
Ultra-thin, 2.5 micron, 24 karat gold-layered, low-mass Mylar diaphragm for superior transient response
Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response, no crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortion
Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors
Subsonic filter eliminates low frequency rumble (less than 17Hz) caused by mechanical vibration
Three-position switchable pad (0dB, 15dB, and 25dB) for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
Three-position switchable low-frequency filter to reduce background noise and counteract proximity effect
