The Shure KSM313 ribbon microphone will blow you away!

Are you a guitar player looking to get into ribbon microphones?  Look no further. This microphone captures acoustic and electric guitars equally well and it also responds beautifully on percussion, drums and vocals.
The KSM313 features a “Dual-Voice” ribbon assembly that lets users choose from two different sound signatures.
Addressing the front of the mic delivers a warm, full sound that is ideal for many instruments while addressing the rear side offers a bright, articulate sound that complements vocals.

Traditionally ribbon microphones were not durable enough to handle high SPL applications and/or transient spikes due to the fragile foil ribbon element.
Not so anymore with the new Roswellite ribbon material Shure uses on their KSM313 and the KSM535. This material offers higher tensile strength and more resilient shape-memory properties than traditional foil ribbons allowing them to withstand very high sound pressure levels over extended periods of time without damage.

This versatile microphone performs well both in the studio as well as on stage.
So there it is: two ribbon mics in one.  It also comes with a unique mounting device and a mahogany storage box.

I had the opportunity to listen to the KSM313 on a session at 615 Music recording studio here in Nashville. They were using the mic of choice, an Shure SM57 for recording electric guitar and that sounded solid. I had them put the KSM313

in front of the guitar cab and then the guitar tone opened up. The engineer could not believe how much better it sounded. There were more extended high frequencies, yet it retained most of the fat low end. So from now on my first choice will definitely be the Shure KSM313 ribbon.
