The Shure KSM353/ED Ribbon Microphone is a revolutionary ribbon microphone. It features Shure’s innovative Roswellite ribbon element, which allows for a clear and dynamic response even when exposed to high sound pressure levels. With a frequency response of 30Hz to 15kHz, solid metal construction, and a locking flight case, the Shure KSM353 is the perfect ribbon microphone for vocal, acoustic instrument, and concert hall recording applications.
The Shure KSM353/ED stands out from traditional ribbon microphones due to its use of the Roswellite ribbon element. This element is not only stronger than traditional elements, but it can also withstand higher sound pressure levels. It has a high tensile strength and shape memory, allowing it to provide advanced resilience even at extreme sound pressure levels.
The microphone features a patented custom ribbon motor assembly, which tailors the bass response without attenuating the overall output. This ensures full low and mid ranges, as well as superior upper range presence from a rising frequency response.
In terms of construction, the Shure KSM353 boasts a sleek chrome body and grille, giving it a professional appearance. The all-metal construction extends to the double shielded transformer, which helps to reduce radio frequency and magnetic interference.
The Shure KSM353/ED Ribbon Microphone comes with several accessories, including a ShureLock wire rope shock mount for secure mounting, a zippered carrying case, a polishing cloth, and a velveteen pouch.
The microphone’s specifications include a bidirectional polar pattern, a frequency response of 30Hz to 15kHz, an output impedance of 330 ohms, a maximum SPL of 146 dB, and a sensitivity of -53.5 dBV/Pa. It does not have a switchable low cut, and it uses XLR connectors. The microphone weighs 633 grams and has dimensions of 157.5mm x 48.3mm x 48.3mm.
