Shure
KSM9
Handheld Condenser Microphone
KSM9/SL Champagne / KSM9/CG Charcoal Gray

The Shure KSM9 is a dual-pattern (cardioid and supercardioid) handheld
condenser microphone. Designed expressly for live vocal performance applications,
the KSM9 removes the boundary between the studio and stage, offering the
finest and clearest performance on modern high-end touring systems. The
large dual diaphragm provides consistent polar response across the entire
frequency range, for higher gain-before-feedback and minimal proximity
effect for clear vocal reproduction.
Features
- Dual 3/4" gold layered, low-mass Mylar® diaphragm design
- Switchable polar patterns (supercardioid and cardioid)
- Advanced suspension shock mount system that isolates cartridge from
handling and stand noise.
- Three-stage grille reduces "pop" and breath noise
- Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier provides transparent,
extremely fast transient response with no crossover distortion and minimal
harmonic and intermodulation distortion.
- Gold-plated internal and external connectors, including XLR Output
- Durable aluminum housing
- Available in two finishes: Champagne (KSM9/SL) or Charcoal grey (KSM9/CG)
- Aluminum carrying case
