What is the KSM353 best suited to?
The KSM353 is best suited to intimate vocal applications.
How is the KSM353 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 and KSM353 microphones are both hand assembled in the USA from state-of-the art transducersA transducer converts sound into an electrical signal and is the heart of a mic.
