What is the KSM353/ED best suited to?
The KSM353/ED 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/ED’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/NE and KSM353/ED 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.
