GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ShureR KSM44 is a side-address condenser microphone with multiple polar patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional). Designed for studio use, the KSM44 has externally biased, dual 1-inch diaphragms, extremely low self-noise and an extended frequency response specially tailored for vocal tracking and instrument recording.

FEATURES

SMultiple polar patterns–cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional–for maxi- mum flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications.

SDual 1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5 µm, 24 Karat gold-layered, low mass, MylarR diaphragms provide superior transient response

SClass A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response and no crossover distortion. Minimizes harmonic and intermodulation distortions.

SPremium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external con- nectors.

SSubsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 Hz.

SSwitchable 15 dB pad for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs).

S3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted back- ground noise or counteract proximity effect.

SIntegrated three-stage “pop” protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise.

SInternal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise.
