Roswellite Ribbon Technology is a proprietary feature of the Shure KSM353 Microphone. It is a revolutionary material that provides superior ribbon resilience and durability, even under extreme conditions. This high-tensile strength and toughness surpass traditional foil ribbons, ensuring top-notch performance at high Sound Pressure Levels (SPLs).
A 'bi-directional' microphone, like the Shure KSM353, is designed to pick up sound from two opposite directions - front and back. This is achieved through its figure-8 polar pattern. This design makes it an ideal choice for recording vocals and acoustic performances where sound is coming from multiple directions.

It features innovative Roswellite Ribbon Technology and a bi-directional figure-8 polar pattern. These features, combined with state-of-the-art transducers and transformers, set it apart from other microphones on the market.
