Shure KSM9

The first live vocal microphone with dual diaphragm and switchable polar pattern for perfect reproduction of the voice. After more than 80 years of working with the most successful musicians and sound engineers, Shure has a history of innovation and technical excellence. With the KSM9, Shure once again points the way to the future.

Details & Data:

Exceptionally nuanced voice reproduction
As the first live vocal microphone with a dual-diaphragm design, the KSM9 ensures a particularly constant polar pattern across all frequency ranges and thus excellent feedback resistance. The proximity effect is reduced, for a clear, clean audio signal. Based on decades of on-stage experience, Shure developed a two-stage shock absorber that absorbs vertical and horizontal movement, effectively minimizing handling noise.

Unprecedented flexibility
The KSM9 allows the directional pattern to be switched between cardioid and supercardioid, enabling customization for unprecedented flexibility on stage. With a wired and wireless version and a choice of anthracite or black and champagne color options, the KSM9 is the optimal solution for any performance.

Unique robustness
With a three-stage hardened basket, die-cast metal housing, and distinctive industrial design, KSM9 microphones meet the high standards that have made Shure products synonymous with reliability and ruggedness worldwide - night after night, under the spotlight of a stage, anywhere in the world.
