Shure KSM8 dynamic cardioid microphone, black

General

Shure's patented Dualdyne mic is engineered first and foremost for live use and vocal performances, which are both susceptible to disruptive background noises. Nothing is worse than experiencing feedback or interference caused by other devices in the vicinity! The Shure KSM8 effectively eliminates this problem thanks to functions like roll-off filters and presence peak pads.

KSM8: the Dualdyne principle

The principle behind the Dualdyne mechanism is that there are two very thin diaphragms integrated into the microphone cartridge. One of the diaphragms is active while the other is passive and an inverted air stream isolates and enhances the two diaphragms. The pneumatic shock mount prevents handling noises from being captured without having an adverse effect on the low-frequency range. As well as all these internal features, the KSM8 has a dent-proof, hardened carbon grille combined with a special hydrophobic woven fabric that functions as a water-repellent pop filter.

KSM8 also in wireless version

If you weren't already impressed with the KSM8's comprehensive features, then you'll be thrilled to know it also functions as a wireless transmitter in combination with the Axient, UHF-R, ULX-D and QLX-D wireless systems. This is also available as a wireless capsule so you can use it with other wireless systems by Shure. This KSM8 transmitter comes in classic black.
