KSM32-Great condenser mic at a great price
Work in radio and we started using Shure KSM44 mics in all the announce positions a few years ago. They are absolutely great but cost about $1000. For my home studio I went with the KSM32. It sounds just as good and is half the price. I have done voice work at the station with the KSM44 and punched-in changes in the voice track at home with the KSM32 and cannot hear any difference. Both mics are great multi-purpose studio mics. Have used them to mic guitars, amps, as audience mics, overheads for drums, etc. If there is a difference between the 44 and the 32, it's lost on me and I've used a lot of good mics. The KSM32 is a great condenser mic, especially for the price.

Better than real !!
Okay, this is it. My first recording was over 50 years ago with a Shure 57. Still have one. Also have pro software recording and editing software. When you get a grand piano and guitars costing thousands, that old high school mic works, but... I simply couldn't my believe my ears when I plugged this thing in listened with headphones. The sound produced from the Shure KSM32 better than real. Read that again. I have never heard anything so good in my studio as a studio composer. As an Amazon customer since 1999, this is only the second review I have been been compelled to articulate.

Beautiful sound, great price!
One of those hidden in plain sight treasures. I have no idea why folks like the SM7B when this microphone is so pretty sounding and with none of the cons like darkness and low signal. When you first hear it the sound is "unremarkable." After a while you realize it sounds that way because doesn't add a lot of color to the sound. It would be described as "clear with a slight warm mid to high" or a "faint halo" as the old guy who taught me would say. It's just good sounding and it just locates easy when you are trying to mic difficult instruments. You should already have 5 of them in your mic drawer. Trust me. PS: The Champagne colored one is just drop-dead gorgeous in the studio.

Bluegrass mic’ing
Used to mic a folk trio for a St Paddy’s gig. The simplicity of this is really great and liked the sound as well. Luckily had an extra mixer around (needed phantom power before going into a powered speaker) but ordered a 20’ish buck phantom power supply for next time. Looking forward to giving that a try.

... KSM32's and I dare say that they make the best overheads for the money
At present I have a pair of KSM32's and I dare say that they make the best overheads for the money. I've used them for drums, as well as acoustic guitar and vocals. A rather versatile microphone. You should have one or two in your mic locker!
