Product Specifications
KSM9 Multi-Pattern Dual Diaphragm Handheld Condenser Vocal Microphone
Overview
The first-ever handheld condenser with dual diaphragms and switchable polar patterns. A premium vocal microphone, the KSM9 captures vocal
subtlety with extraordinary detail to deliver clear articulation, functional flexibility and precise vocal reproduction for live performance. Transformerless
Class A preamplifier circuitry provides transparent sound capture, dual gold-layered diaphragms reveal every nuance and subtlety in a vocal
performance, and an advanced suspension shock mount virtually eliminates handling noise even in the most demanding live environments.
Features
• Dual 3/4" gold layered, low mass Mylar® diaphragms provide superior frequency response.
• Dual polar patterns (cardioid and supercardioid) for maximum flexibility in a wide variety of performance applications.
• Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier provides transparent, extremely fast transient response with no crossover distortion and minimal
harmonic and intermodulation distortion.
• Advanced suspension shock mount system that isolates cartridge from handling and stand noise.
• Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors.
• Three-stage grille reduces “pop” and breath noise.
