{"product_id":"ksm40c-large-diaphragm-cardioid-condenser-microphone","title":"KSM40C Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a precision-engineered 1” capsule, the KSM40C delivers natural, detailed audio with rich low-end and high-frequency detail that sit beautifully in a mix without brightness or harshness. A proprietary backplate design controls diaphragm behaviour, eliminating sharp resonances. The uniform cardioid polar pattern focuses the source while minimising room and bleed, making placement fast and predictable in multi-mic sessions or less-than-ideal spaces, and smooth proximity effect gives more creative control. An included shock mount and pop filter isolate the microphone from rumble and vibration and block plosives. Also includes a hard mount, a premium case, and a threaded adapter. Ideal for capturing rich nuances in vocals and instruments, including upright bass, guitar amps and kick drum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1” Capsule Delivers Natural, Detailed Audio with Rich Low-End:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision engineered 1” capsule delivers smooth, high frequency detail that sits beautifully in a mix without brightness or harshness.
