This studio condenser microphone pairs a true, externally biased 1-inch capsule with onboard pad and filter switches, giving AV integrators a flexible fixed-cardioid microphone for permanent voiceover booth and podcast studio installs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KSM40C uses a 1-inch true, externally biased condenser capsule in a fixed cardioid polar pattern, larger than the 0.75-inch capsule used in the KSM32C, which typically contributes to a warmer tonal character favored in voiceover and broadcast applications. A switchable -15 dB pad protects against overload from louder sources close to the capsule, while a selectable filter offers a flat response, an 18 dB per octave filter at 80 Hz, or a gentle 6 dB per octave roll-off at 115 Hz to manage low-frequency rumble or proximity effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese onboard switches let integrators adapt the KSM40C to different presenters, source levels, and room acoustics without swapping microphones or adding external processing, which is useful in shared studio spaces used by multiple voice talent or presenters with different vocal levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1-Inch True Condenser Capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e — Externally biased design contributes a warmer tonal character than smaller capsules.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFixed Cardioid Polar Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rejects off-axis sound for isolated vocal and speech pickup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable -15 dB Pad\u003c\/strong\u003e — Protects against overload from louder sources close to the capsule.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelectable Low-Frequency Filter\u003c\/strong\u003e — Flat, 80 Hz 18 dB\/octave, or 115 Hz 6 dB\/octave roll-off options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse;\" border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapsule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 in true, externally biased condenser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolar Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed cardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Switch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-15 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFilter Switch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat \/ 80 Hz (18 dB\/octave) \/ 115 Hz (6 dB\/octave)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the -15 dB pad switch do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt attenuates the signal by 15 dB to prevent overload from loud sources positioned close to the capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat filter options are available?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe KSM40C offers a flat response, an 18 dB per octave filter at 80 Hz, or a gentle 6 dB per octave roll-off at 115 Hz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the KSM40C differ from the KSM32C?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe KSM40C uses a larger 1-inch capsule versus the KSM32C's 0.75-inch capsule, typically contributing a warmer tonal character, and adds onboard pad and filter switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat warranty applies to this microphone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShure covers the KSM40C under its standard manufacturer warranty.
