Shure KSM313/NE

The KSM313 is best suited for amplified instruments or intimate vocal applications.

How is the KSM313 / NE different from other ribbon microphones?
Ribbon microphones are known for being extremely sensitive. The KSM313 is different in two ways:

The strong ribbon resilience, durability and shape memory of the Roswellite & trade ribbon material of the KSM313 replace traditional foil tapes and provide great resilience at extreme SPLs, making the microphone more durable.
Bidirectionality means that one side of the KSM313 has a brighter character that makes your vocals shine, while the other side provides a rich, full-bodied sound ideal for your amplified instruments.
