Shure KSM313/NE Dual Voice Ribbon Microphone
The Shure KSM313/NE is a titan of professional recording, offering engineers the best in design and performance. With a dual-voice diaphragm, it provides two superb sound signatures. The front side delivers warmth and complexity, while the back side is bright and flattering, providing radical versatility for any voice or instrument. Made from Roswelite, an innovative ultra-resilient material, the KSM313/NE can handle hard studio sessions, extreme volumes, and phantom power surges. Assembled by a Shure expert, impeccable quality is guaranteed, allowing you to create recordings of the highest order.

The KSM series is the pinnacle of Shure audio innovation, meticulously engineered to provide phenomenal sound without compromise. Each microphone in the series is built with premium components, ensuring years of superior sonic performance. Designed to withstand the most punishing environments, KSM microphones demonstrate that sensitivity and toughness can coexist harmoniously.

The Shure KSM313 offers a wonderfully versatile dual-voice design. With its bi-directional polar pattern, you can choose to record with two distinct characters. The front side produces the classic warm and dark ribbon sound, ideal for guitar amplifiers, brass, woodwind, upright bass, and kick drums. On the other hand, the rear side delivers a brighter tone with increased presence, perfect for vocals, string instruments, drum overheads, and percussion.

One concern with ribbon microphones is their delicacy and susceptibility to damage. However, the KSM313 is different. It features a ribbon made of Roswellite, an incredibly resilient material that is immune to windblasts and phantom power. With its remarkable shape memory, the ribbon remains intact even when exposed to extremely loud instruments. This allows for consistent, clear, and solid tone, even in challenging recording situations such as inside a kick drum or in front of a loud guitar amp.

Included with the KSM313/NE are the ShureLock stand mount, an aluminum flight case, and a velveteen pouch. The microphone boasts a bi-directional polar pattern, capable of handling high SPLs up to 146dB, and is hand-assembled from premium components to ensure the best possible sound and performance. It does not require phantom power and has a transformer balanced output impedance of 270 Ohms.

In terms of specifications, the KSM313/NE features a Roswellite ribbon transducer, a frequency response of 30Hz – 15000Hz, and a bidirectional polar pattern. It connects via XLR and has a fixed cartridge. Its height is 13.5 cm and diameter is 4.318 cm, and it weighs 400g.

In summary, the Shure KSM313/NE is a highly acclaimed ribbon microphone that offers exceptional design and performance. Its dual-voice diaphragm, versatility, and resilience make it a top choice for recording professionals. With the KSM series, Shure continues to innovate and provide superior sonic performance that can withstand the most demanding environments.
