Vocal Microphone Shure KSM8/B

Shure KSM8/B

The Shure KSM8/B handheld microphone is a dual-diaphragm dynamic microphone designed for vocals and sound reinforcement in live performance and top-level professional venues. Featuring one of the most innovative cardioid microphones Shure has developed to date, the Dualdyne KSM8 capsule virtually eliminates proximity effects and eliminates off-axis rejection while delivering the signal purity typical of condenser microphones without processing. This also provides robust dynamic microphone feedback control. The dent-resistant, hardened carbon steel grille construction, lined with hydrophobic woven fabric, provides exceptional protection against blast sounds and wind while providing virtually waterproof protection. Carefully crafted for world-class vocal performance and presentation in elite venues, the Shure KSM8 Dualdyne is the revolutionary dynamic microphone that only Shure can make.

While the KSM8/B may be one of the most innovative dynamic vocal microphones ever made, it is also an instrument microphone. In fact, the same soft and smooth upper-mid processing that makes this mic perfect for vocals takes the harshness out of brass instruments, hi-hats and more. Once you start experimenting with this amazing microphone, you will find yourself using it all the time, both in the studio and on stage.
