KSM353

SHURE INCORPORATED

Performance Characteristics

Ribbon microphones perform optimally with the least amount of loading on the ribbon element as

practical. The higher the impedance input on the microphone, the better the low-end and mid-range

frequencies are represented in the output signal. Shure recommends using preamps with imped-

ance settings of 1000 Ohms or more, although different load impedances may be used for a desired

sound quality.

This is a low-noise microphone. The combination of its efficient transducer, robust shielding, and

custom transformer produces a low noise floor and output level equal to moving coil microphones.

Shure ribbon microphones have an exceptionally smooth, natural response and perform best with

preamps that provide simple, transparent gain. However, Shure encourages experimentation to find

the desired combination of color and transparency.

General Description

The KSM353 is a premium bidirectional ribbon microphone crafted for pristine audio in studio

and concert hall applications. It is hand-assembled in the U.S.A. from state-of-the art transduc-

ers, transformers and metals as the pinnacle of Shure quality for prestigious vocal and acoustic

performances.

Proprietary Roswellite®ribbon technology provides revolutionary ribbon resilience and durability

under extreme conditions. The Roswellite ribbon material replaces traditional foil ribbons with high

tensile strength, toughness, and shape memory that provides superior resilience at extreme sound

pressure levels (SPLs).

Features

• Legendary Shure quality and superior construction from hand-assembly of machined steel, silver,

gold and aluminum components

• Revolutionary Roswellite ribbon material replaces traditional foil ribbons with high tensile

strength, toughness and shape-memory that provides superior resilience at extreme SPLs

• Patented, custom ribbon motor assembly provides full low and mid ranges with superior upper

presence from a rising response

• 30 – 15,000 Hz frequency response ideal for capturing fast transients in vocals, acoustic

instruments and concert halls

• Uniform bidirectional polar pattern throughout the frequency range

• Custom-wound, double-shielded, full-size transformer minimizes signal loss and maximizes

output while reducing RF interference, positioned perpendicular to ribbon for best magnetic flux

rejection

• Military-grade, wire rope suspension mount surpasses traditional rubber and elastic cord mounts

in resilience and shock absorption

Applications

The KSM353 is a premium microphone, capturing superior audio quality in a wide range of environ-

ments. The following are some suggested applications:

• Studio vocals

• Orchestra ensembles

• Acoustic instruments

• Ambient or room pickup

• Voice-over for film or broadcast

Stereo Techniques

• Blumlein: Use a pair of KSM353 microphones for natural stereo representation. Excellent for

grand piano, orchestras, or large ensembles.

• Mid-side (M-S): Use a KSM353 with a cardioid microphone, such as the KSM137 or KSM32, to

produce a variable-controlled stereo image without moving the microphone.

Front Back

Mounting the Microphone

The supplied suspension mount is designed with military-grade, wire rope technology, providing

superior resilience and shock absorption. Thread the mount onto a floor or boom stand and insert

the microphone.

For discreet placement or when space is limited, use a hard stand mount. Visit www.shure.com for

more information.

Positioning

Position the front of the microphone towards the desired sound

source. Position the sides, the null points of a bidirectional mi-

crophone, towards any unwanted sound sources.

Note: When addressing the back side of a bidirectional micro-

phone, please remember to invert the signal polarity. Shure’s

A15PRS accessory is an in-line, balanced, polarity-reversing

switch capable of this operation and is available online at:

store.shure.com

Proximity Effect

Directional microphones progressively boost bass frequencies as the microphone is placed in closer

proximity to the source. This phenomenon, known as proximity effect, can be used to create a

warmer, more powerful sound.

Care and Handling

To protect your microphone, keep a few simple precautions in mind to ensure long-term

performance:

1. Store your microphone in its protective case when it is not in use.

2. Maintain a reasonable distance from fluorescent lights, power transformers, and other strong

electromagnetic sources to avoid hum.

3. Use a secure mount and stand and a quality balanced, shielded XLR connecting cable. For ad-

ditional mounting accessories, visit our website: www.shure.com

4. Phantom power is not necessary and should not be supplied when connecting or disconnecting

the microphone. However, properly supplied phantom power will not harm the microphone.
