General Description
This premium side-address, cardioid condenser microphone features a large dual-diaphragm optimized for
world-class vocal recording and performance applications. With a tailored frequency response and extensive
internal and external pop filtering, the single-pattern, dual-diaphragm design of the KSM42 exhibits an
exceptionally smooth frequency response and ultra-wide dynamic range. The KSM42 is the premier choice for
capturing sophisticated and intimate vocal performances.

Performance Characteristics
• Consistent frequency response, irrespective of distance
• High output level
• Extensive pop filtering protection system (internal and external)
• High input SPL capability
• Ultra-low distortion
• Uniform polar response
• Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interference
Features
• Highly consistent cardioid polar pattern creates a broad “sweet spot” and natural off-axis response
• Dual-diaphragm design with an active front, ultra thin (2.5 micron) 24-karat gold, low mass, 1-inch Mylar®
diaphragm
• Passive back diaphragm delivers exceptional control of low frequency proximity effect
• Tailored low-frequency roll-off minimizes low frequency room noise
• Integrated three-stage mesh grille guards against wind and breath noise—magnetic pop filter attachment
for additional pop protection
• Open cage ShureLock®rubber suspension shock mount with low-profile magnetic pop filter produces a
natural space between performer and microphone
• Extremely low self noise for critical studio vocal recording
• Advanced preamplifier technology exhibits extremely low self-noise with superior dynamic range, transient
response and ultra-low distortion for transparent recording
• Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors
• Durable zinc die-cast housing and hardened low carbon steel grille
• Internal shock mount to reduce unwanted handling and stand noise
Applications
The KSM42 is designed primarily for:
• Solo and backing vocals
• Voice-overs
• Speech
Secondary uses might include:
• Ensembles—choral or orchestral room ambiance pick-up
• Acoustic instruments—piano, guitar, and stringed instruments
• Wind instruments—brass and woodwinds

Suspension Mount
Use the supplied ShureLock®rubber suspension mount to
secure the microphone to a floor or boom stand.
Important: Thread the knurled locking ring securely to the
base of the microphone. Do not overtighten.
Power Requirements
This microphone requires phantom power and performs best with a 48 Vdc supply (IEC-268-15/DIN 45 596).
However, it will operate with slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity with supplies as low as 11 Vdc.
Most modern mixers provide phantom power. You must use a balanced microphone cable: XLR-to-XLR or
XLR-to-TRS.
OPERATION
Positioning
Position the front of the microphone, with , towards the desired sound source. Position the rear of
the microphone, with the vintage circle S logo, towards any unwanted sound sources.
7
Pop Filter
An integrated three-stage mesh grille guards against wind and breath noise. Use the included pop filter
accessory for additional protection against breath and “plosive” noises. The pop filter magnetically attaches to
the front of the shockmount ring.
Reduction of Proximity Effect
To counter proximity effect, the KSM42 uses two diaphragms, one active and one passive, to create an
acoustic phase shift at the rear of the microphone. This produces a broad “sweet spot” of uniform low-
frequency response, allowing the performer to move closer or further from the microphone with minimal
changes in sound quality.
