Professional Large-Diaphragm Condenser. Studio-Grade. Stage-Ready.

The Shure KSM32C/HM is a premium cardioid large-diaphragm condenser microphone engineered for the most demanding studio recording and live sound applications. Combining Shure's Class A, transformerless preamplifier circuitry with a 1-inch ultra-thin 24-karat gold-layered Mylar diaphragm, the KSM32 delivers exceptional transparency, low noise, and the kind of detailed, musical sound that professional engineers and producers demand.

Supplied with a hard mount (HM) in Charcoal (C) finish, the KSM32C/HM is equally at home on a studio vocal, acoustic guitar, piano, or drum overhead — anywhere you need a microphone that captures the full character of the source with accuracy and depth.
