Detailed description
- The KSM313/NE is an extremely rugged, professional ribbon microphone. Its Dual-Voice design combines two distinct sound characteristics in a single microphone. Roswellite Technology ensures exceptional flexibility and durability of the ribbon, as well as unmatched ruggedness.
- What does Dual-Voice mean?
- What does a ribbon microphone generally sound like?
- Is a ribbon microphone robust enough for the stage?
- Handcrafted with high-quality materials
As a ribbon microphone, the KSM313/NE has the typical figure-8 polar pattern. What makes this mic special is that it delivers a different sound on each side.
One side, with a rising frequency response that widens in the high frequencies, is ideal for vocals. The other side drops off earlier in the high frequencies and is optimized for electric instruments, such as the electric guitar.
Although a ribbon microphone is a dynamic microphone, it sounds particularly clear—like a condenser microphone—but with a rounder tone, especially in the high frequencies. Furthermore, the sound is warm, powerful, and extremely present.
The highly elastic and durable Roswellite material makes it possible. For the first time, ribbon microphones are equipped to handle the rigors of stage use, and even loud sound levels of up to 146 dB cannot harm the KSM313/NE. Phantom power also cannot damage the microphone.
The KSM313/NE is carefully handcrafted in the USA using select materials (including aluminum, silver, and gold). A sturdy aluminum carrying case protects the microphone during transport and storage.
