General Description

The Shure KSM141 is a premium, end-address, con-
®
denser microphone with a unique rotating collar that
allows for easy switching between a highly consistent
cardioid or true omnidirectional polar pattern. Its class
A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier captures an
extremely transparent sound, and a three-position at-
tenuation switch and low-cut filter allow for handling
of extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL) and
controlled bass response. An ultra-thin, 24-karat gold-
layered diaphragm and superior build quality make the
KSM141 ideal for studio use, yet rugged enough for the
most demanding live applications.
Features
• A mechanical polar pattern switch for highly
consistent cardioid and true omnidirectional polar
patterns, providing flexibility in a wide variety of
recording and performance applications.
• Ultra-thin, 2.5 μm 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
inter-modulation distortion.
• Premium electronic components, including gold-
plated internal and external connectors.
• Subsonic filter eliminates low-frequency rumble
(less than 17 Hz) caused by mechanical vibration.
• Three-position attenuation switch (0 dB, 15 dB, and
25 dB) for handling extremely high SPLs.
• Three-position low-frequency filter switch reduces
stand vibration noise and counteracts proximity
effect.

Model Variations
This microphone can be purchased as a stereo pair
(KSM141/SL STEREO). In addition to the standard ac-
cessories, the stereo pair includes a stereo stand adapt-
er (A27M) for mounting two microphones on one stand.

Applications

• Brass and woodwind instruments
• Orchestras, choirs, and wind ensembles
• Overhead miking of drums and percussion
instruments
• Close-miking of acoustic instruments such as piano,
guitar, violins, drums, and percussion
• Low-frequency instruments such as double bass and
kick drum
• Electric guitar and bass amplifiers
• Vocals and speech
• Room ambience
Note: Sound quality is strongly affected by microphone
location and room acoustics. To achieve the best overall
sound for a particular application, it may be necessary
to experiment with microphone placement and room
treatments.
