Shure KSM9HS Condenser Vocal Microphone

Superior build quality ensures top-shelf sound

Over 90 years of mic-building experience went into the KSM9HS’s design, and it shows. Its dual 3/4-inch gold-layered, low-mass Mylar diaphragms exhibit superior transient response and proximity control, while its Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier yields incredible transparency, lightning-fast transient response, near-zero crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic and inter-modulation distortion. What’s more, an integrated 3-stage pop filter stops breath noise in its tracks. Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors, add to the KSM9HS’s superior build quality.

A top performer with pro-level features

The Shure KSM9HS is jam-packed with the pro-level features you’d expect from a microphone of this caliber. Dual polar patterns enable you to toggle between hypercardioid and subcardioid polar patterns, providing you with endless flexibility. An advanced suspension shockmount system isolates the mic’s cartridge from handling and stand noise. A built-in subsonic filter eliminates the sub-17Hz low-frequency rumble caused by mechanical vibration, while a 3-stage protection grille minimizes plosives, wind, and other breath noises. Here , we’ve found the KSM9HS to be a top performer — it’s a surefire easy way to elevate your live vocal performances.
