The Shure KSM32 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone that's for use in the studio or for broadcast purposes. The mic looks the same as most the others in the KSM series, like the KSM44 which is one that I've got more experience with. The KSM32 has a cardioid pick up pattern and has got a frequency response range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. It comes with it's own hard shell carrying case as well as a shock mount and mic clip.
OVERALL OPINION
The Shure KSM32 is a great option for a large diaphragm condenser microphone in any studio. It's best for the home studio owner looking for a great microphone at a great price, as it's got a professional sound without having to spend a ton of money. There are plenty of options in the KSM series, but the KSM32 is as good as any for the price. It's not as nice sounding as the KSM44, but it's also about half the price. I've used the microphone for a few different purposes, mostly as a vocal microphone. I recently helped out on a radio show that was broadcast from the studio I work at, and they were using this microphone for it. It was perfect for the job, as although there are better sounding mics out there for sure, this will get the job done in this situations more times than not. Having said this, I'd rather have a Shure SM7, which is about the same price or a little bit less and in my opinion is one of the best microphones out there, period. However, as far as condensers in this price range go, the KSM32 is definitely up there with the best. The KSM32 is worth looking into for anyone who's after a nice large diaphragm condenser at a more than reasonable price!
