Mounting The Microphone - Shure KSM353 User Manual

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.
Positioning
Position the front of the microphone, with the "SHURE" logo,
towards the desired sound source. Position the sides, the null
points of a bidirectional microphone, 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:
