The original functionally engineered studio microphone that handles more assignments in today s across-the board programming. Delivers a smooth, wide-range, flat frequency response without strident peaks or false coloration. Its extremely broad front working angle holds tonal quality constant despite user movement – eliminates audio holes and hot spots when using multiple microphones. True cardioid polar pattern is uniform at all frequencies and in all planes, so off-axis reflections, reverberation and background noises can be controlled.

A very effective built-in shock mount effectively isolates cable, stand and handling noises normally associated with unidirectional microphones. The SM53 also features a built-in hum rejection system that cuts magnetic fields without hum pickup. Proximity effect has been minimized for uniform tonal quality without low frequency build-up. A built-in low-end roll-off switch allows the user to tailor low frequency response. The SM53 is extremely rugged, and can even be dropped on its nose without cartridge damage. It is fully field-serviceable – cartridge, connector, front screen and roll-off switch can be replaced in minutes. Soft,neutral matte metallic finish is glare-free and ideally suited for on-camera use.
