Features
- Premium condenser vocal microphones for the most demanding stage performances
- Dual-diaphragm design with switchable polar patterns (wide cardioid, hypercardioid)
- Extremely clear, natural, and detailed sound with minimized proximity effect
- Extreme resistance to feedback
- Low self-noise and high dynamic range
- Handles high volumes without distortion
- Integrated pop filter minimizes distracting breath and wind noise
- Three-stage, hardened grille and extremely robust metal construction protect against damage
- Two-stage shock mount minimizes impact noise and handling noise
- What are the advantages of the dual diaphragm?
– Particularly consistent polar pattern across the entire frequency response, resulting in extreme resistance to feedback
– Reduced proximity effect for an extremely clear, clean signal
– The option of switchable polar patterns
The KSM9HS delivers outstanding results even during recording. For digital recording directly on a computer, it can be quickly and easily connected to a computer’s USB port using the X2u XLR-to-USB interface.
Detailed description
- How does the KSM9HS sound?
- Switching between wide cardioid and hypercardioid
- Studio sound robust enough for the stage?
- Recording on a computer
The sound is exceptionally clear, detailed, and natural. The wide dynamic range and low self-noise allow even the subtlest nuances of the voice to be reproduced.
The reduced proximity effect ensures a particularly clean signal in the low frequencies.
The three-stage, hardened grille with integrated pop filter minimizes distracting breath and wind noise.
Underneath the grille, which can be easily unscrewed, is the switch for toggling between wide cardioid and hypercardioid polar patterns. This is also the difference from the KSM9, which allows switching between cardioid and supercardioid. Both microphones can thus be flexibly adjusted in seconds depending on the stage and monitor setup or the user’s preferences.
The wide cardioid sounds more open and is suitable for quieter stages where the room and stage acoustics are to be captured.
The hypercardioid, on the other hand, strongly isolates the vocals from background noise and is therefore particularly suitable for very loud stages. Additionally, feedback is minimized.
Like all Shure products, the KSM9HS is extremely robust and built to withstand the rigors of the road. The hardened grille and die-cast metal housing easily withstand the rigors of everyday stage use.
The KSM9HS also delivers excellent results when recording. For digital recording directly on a computer, it can be quickly and easily connected to a computer’s USB port using the X2u XLR-to-USB interface.
