Good to know.

We have both the KSM313 and KSM353 in our Clipalator on acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drum overhead and male vocal tracked one after the other. We also tracked the "bright" and "warm" sides separate takes on the 313 for full context.

Great mics, glad to hear of the new mounts.

Hate that they changed the name...it will cause confusion to some.

Hi War
Stay tuned for an announcement on how you can receive updated mounts for existing KSM313 and KSM353 owners. We'll be offering them to current owners for free. I'll keep you posted when the program starts.
FYI, we'll still refer to the as KSM313's and KSM353's. The channel likes to see a variation in model names to keep track of inventory and what's what. For all intensive purposes, they're still KSM313 and KSM353.

I heard one of these mics could be put into a Kick drum ? and handle the low end blast of air . Which model # is that one ? Is one used primarily for different applications ? Or they can be used on any source . Thanks .

The KSM353. It sounds great on kick, and everything else I've tried it on!! With kick, we'll usually point it down a little, but on axis would be just fine.

Both models feature roswellite ribbons and will take an airgun blast and be just fine. The KSM353 however has a little more depth and sounds great on kick.

Wow! That's fantastic, I bought a KSM 313 from Tom Lee Music Vancouver... If I can snag a new mount for free I'll be happy and make sure Shure is on my next studio purchase list... that 353 would be a nice addition...

Talk about good customer service.

The KSM353 was used for electric guitar on the new Dream Theater album. From an interview...

"MPc: Great. How did you mike your cabs, and which mics did you use?

JP: Well, we used two microphones. We used an [Shure] SM-57 and we used a Shure ribbon mic, [the KSM353]. It’s a new one, it’s about a $3,000 mic"...

That's it about the mic. Still thought I'd share

The guitars do sound great on the album

Nice work on the mount. It looks stellar! I wish Shure would do this for the KSM44. It's the worst mount I own.

I can't wait to get the new mic mounts. Especially for the KSM313, I can't stand that one!! We've been using a Shure RF mic clip instead of the stock old one. It looks cool, but is an absolute p.i.t.a to use!!

The KSM353 is formerly the Crowley & Tripp "El Diablo" and you might find additional info by searching under those terms.

Great news about the new mounts! It was the only thing that was lacking.
