Description
The Shure KSM9 is a professional handheld vocal microphone that delivers studio level quality to live sound reinforcement applications. The KSM9 features user switchable polar patterns. Cardioid and supercardioid patterns are provided for flexible operation and noise suppression in any scenario. The wide frequency response and sound characteristics make the KSM9 a professional choice for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications.
Over 90 years of mic-building experience went into the KSM9’s design, and it shows. Its dual 3/4-inch gold-layered, low-mass Mylar diaphragms exhibit superior transient response and proximity control, while its Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier yields incredible transparency, lightning-fast transient response, near-zero crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic and inter-modulation distortion. What’s more, an integrated 3-stage pop filter stops breath noise in its tracks. Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors, add to the KSM9’s superior build quality.
The Shure KSM9 is jam-packed with the pro-level features you’d expect from a microphone of this caliber. Dual polar patterns enable you to toggle between cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns, providing you with endless flexibility. An advanced suspension shockmount system isolates the mic’s cartridge from handling and stand noise. A built-in subsonic filter eliminates the sub-17Hz low-frequency rumble caused by mechanical vibration, while a 3-stage protection grille minimizes plosives, wind, and other breath noises. At Sweetwater, we’ve found the KSM9 to be a top performer — it’s a surefire easy way to elevate your live vocal performances.
