Shure KSM353/ED Ribbon Microphone
What is the KSM353/ED best suited to?
The KSM353 is best suited to intimate vocal applications.
How is the KSM353/ED different to other ribbon microphones?
Ribbon microphones are renowned for being extremely delicate. The KSM353’s high-tensile strength, toughness and shape memory of Roswellite™ ribbon material replaces traditional foil ribbons for superior resilience at extreme SPLs and allows the microphone to be more durable.
The KSM313/ED and KSM353/NE microphones are both hand assembled in the USA from state-of-the art transducers, transformers and metals
