Ribbon microphones which from the early days of recording were prized for their warm and smooth sound have returned in recent years. But ribbon microphones have an Achilles heel: the fragile aluminum ribbon element bends and breaks easily.. High sound pressure level sources such as drums or horns can damage fragile foil tape with one brief blast of air breaking its fragile tension and stretching it. To maintain Shure's reputation for nearly indestructible microphones , it would take an extraordinary tape - and that’s exactly it what you will find inside the Shure KSM353/ED. Rosewellite: One Strong Tape The Shure KSM353/ED tape element is made from patented Rosewellite , acoustic nanomaterial with tensile strength allowing it to maintain its shape and sound in extreme conditions. The funny name means serious performance: this tape can withstand sound pressure levels of up to 146 dB while delivering classic ribbon microphone sound on stage or in the studio. So go ahead and use the 353 on your guitar amp, bass amp vocals wind instruments and even inside a barrel! "Shape memory" of rosewellite means that he will return to normal immediately. Pedigree Boutique Gearheads attentive to detail, will notice that the Shure KSM353/ED ribbon microphone looks (and sounds) very similar to the El Diablo microphone once created by Crowley and Tripp a now defunct boutique manufacturer. When Shure acquired Crowley and Tripp they obtained the rights to Roswellite. In the El Diablo microphone, and now in the KSM353/ED revolutionary Roswellite tape can go where no tape has gone before and maintain a smooth, natural character which defines the ribbon. Ribbon microphone for any source. Shure KSM353/ED is ideal for high SPL applications such as bass drums and loud guitar cabinets yet it is sensitive enough for delicate vocals or violin. Like all ribbon microphones The 353 has a bi-directional polar pattern and can be faced either from the front and behind with excellent suppression of zero points to the sides. Design fits well with Blumlein stereo pairs great for natural spacious room atmosphere or orchestral ensembles. In short KSM353/ED can be used anywhere where do you use a high quality ribbon microphone and it is also quite durable to use it for very loud voices and instruments.
