The Shure KSM40C is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone designed for recording professionals who require accurate, true-to-life sound with pristine low-noise performance for capturing vocals and instruments. Part of the refreshed KSM Studio Microphone line from Shure, the KSM40C combines refined capsule engineering, updated electronics, and premium accessories in a sleek, modern design built for contemporary studio workflows.

Predictable Pickup and Creative Control
The uniform cardioid polar pattern focuses tightly on the source while minimizing room sound and bleed, making placement fast and predictable in multi-microphone sessions or less-than-ideal spaces. A smooth proximity effect provides additional creative flexibility, allowing engineers to move closer for a larger-than-life sound or pull back for a more neutral, transparent capture.

Ultralow Noise and Professional Construction
Extremely low self-noise supports clean recordings with greater headroom, enabling gain and compression without unwanted hiss. The lightweight, all-metal construction ensures durability while keeping the microphone easy to position on boom stands. A precision-machined steel grille highlights the gold-layered capsule and reinforces long-term reliability for daily professional use.

Premium Accessories Included
The KSM40C includes a proprietary shockmount that isolates the microphone from rumbles and vibrations, along with a detachable magnetic pop filter to reduce plosive sounds. A premium zippered carrying case, threaded adapter, and an extra set of shockmount bands complete the accessory suite, delivering a studio-ready microphone system designed for critical vocal and instrument recording.
