The SM48 dynamic microphone, designed for great on-stage performance, consistently maintains a true cardioid pattern across its frequency spectrum. This design not only achieves high gain before feedback but also efficiently rejects sounds coming from off-axis directions.

It's specifically tuned for optimal response in lead vocals, backing vocals, and spoken word contexts. The microphone's frequency response enhances the mid-range tones with a presence rise and manages bass response through a low frequency roll-off to keep the proximity effect in check.

Equipped with a shock-mounted cartridge, robust steel mesh grille, and a built-in "pop" filter, the SM48 is well-suited for handling the rigors of live performances.
