[. . . ] Do not overtighten. Positioning Position the front of the microphone, with , towards the desired sound source. Position the rear of the microphone, with the vintage circle S logo, towards any unwanted sound sources. 6 Pop Filter An integrated three-stage mesh grille guards against wind and breath noise. Use the included pop filter accessory for additional protection against breath and "plosive" noises. The pop filter magnetically attaches to the front of the shockmount ring. Reduction of Proximity Effect To counter proximity effect, the KSM42 uses two diaphragms, one active and one passive, to create an acoustic phase shift at the rear of the microphone. This produces a broad "sweet spot" of uniform lowfrequency response, allowing the performer to move closer or further from the microphone with minimal changes in sound quality. 20 15 10 5 dB 0 -5 -10 -15 -20 -30 -35 20 100 1k 10k 20k Hz Vocalist at 2 feet 20 15 10 5 dB 0 -5 -10 -15 -20 -30 -35 20 100 1k 10k 20k Hz Vocalist at 6 inches 7 SPECIFICATIONS Transducer Type Frequency Response Polar Pattern Output Impedance Sensitivity (at 1 kHz, open circuit voltage) Maximum SPL (1 kHz at 1% THD) Dual-Diaphragm, Front-Active, Externally Biased Condenser 60 to 20, 000Hz Cardioid 147 -37dBV/Pa(14. 1mV) 1 Pascal=94 dB SPL 1000 load: 139 dB 2500 load: 139 dB THD of microphone preamplifier when applied input signal is equivalent to cartridge output at specified SPL 86 dB S/N ratio is difference between 94 dB SPL and equivalent SPL of self noise, A-weighted 1000 load: 131 dB 2500 load: 131 dB > 60 dB 1000 load: 6. 5 dBV 2500 load: 8 dBV 8. 5 dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio (referenced at 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz) Dynamic Range (at 1 kHz) Common Mode Rejection (10 Hz to 100 kHz) Clipping Level (20Hz-20 kHz at 1% THD) Self Noise (typical, equivalent SPL, A-weighted) Polarity Weight Connector Power Requirements Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3 Net: 494 g with shock mount and pop filter: 820 g Three-pin professional audio (XLR), male 11 to 52 Vdc phantom, 6 mA 8 ACCESSORIES AND PARTS Furnished Accessories Magnetic Pop Filter ShureLock Rubber Suspension Shock Mount ® A42PF A42SM A42SC A42VB A42OR Aluminum Carrying Case Protective Velveteen Pouch Suspension Mount O-rings (4) Optional Accessories Windscreen Padded, Zippered Carrying Bag Swivel Stand Mount A32WS A32ZB A32M Replacement Parts Suspension Mount O-rings (4) A42OR CERTIFICATION Eligible to bear CE Marking.
