Why We Love This Product!

The Clear Choice for Recording Vocals!

You know how every microphone out there "hears" sounds differently? Have you ever wanted to record vocals and have the recordings sound just like real life? It may seem impossible, but really, all you need is a Shure KSM42/SG. This package contains not only the Shure KSM42 (the killer vocal mic you're looking for) but also a complete set of accessories to go with it. What makes the KSM42 so special? Let's start with Shure's ridiculously quiet Prethos advanced preamplifier technology. Plus, the KSM42's got an ultra-consistent cardioid pickup pattern and just about zero proximity effect.


Shure KSM42/SG Large-diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone Package Features at a Glance:
  • Consistent cardioid polar pattern creates a broad "sweet spot" and natural off-axis response
  • Dual-diaphragm design with an active-front ultra-thin (2.5-micron) 24-karat-gold low-mass 1" Mylar diaphragm
  • Extended frequency response and dynamic range
  • Passive back diaphragm reduces low-frequency proximity effect
  • Integrated 3-stage mesh grille guards against wind and breath noise
  • Open-cage ShureLock rubber suspension shockmount with low-profile Popper Stopper magnetic pop filter
  • Ultra-transparent Prethos Advanced Preamplifier Technology
  • Premium electronic components and gold-plated connectors
  • Durable zinc die-cast housing and hardened low-carbon steel grille
  • Internal shockmount reduces unwanted handling and stand noise
  • Includes ShureLock shockmount, Popper Stopper magnetic pop filter, aluminum carrying case, and velveteen pouch
  • Net weight: 17.4 oz.
