General Description

Expanding on the success and innovation of the KSM9, the KSM9HS offers a new set of polar patterns (hypercardioid and subcardioid) to provide the flexibility needed to achieve optimal results in any environment. The hypercardioid pattern delivers excellent gain before feedback and a focused low-end frequency response, while the subcardioid pattern produces an open, natural sound and further reduces the proximity effect. As a premium vocal microphone, the KSM9HS captures vocal subtlety with extraordinary detail to deliver clear articulation, functional flexibility and precise vocal reproduction for live performance. Transformerless, Class

A preamplifier circuitry and dual, gold-layered diaphragms capture a transparent sound, revealing every nuance and subtlety in a vocal performance. The KSM9HS uses an advanced suspension shock mount to virtually eliminate handling noise, even in the most demanding live environments.

Performance Characteristics

•Extremely uniform polar response

•Extended frequency response

•Minimal self-noise

•Exceptional low-frequency reproduction

•Able to withstand high SPLs

•High output level

•No crossover distortion

•Superior common-mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interference (RFI)

Model Variations

The KSM9 series consists of two models featuring unique, switchable polar patterns and a variety of finishes.

KSM9HS: Features hypercardioid and subcardioid polar patterns with a black finish.

KSM9: Features cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns with a charcoal-gray or champagne finish.

Features

•Dual 3/4” gold layered, low-mass Mylar® diaphragms provide superior frequency response and proximity control

•Dual polar patterns (hypercardioid and subcardioid) for maximum flexibility in a wide variety of performance applications

•Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response and no crossover distortion, while minimizing harmonic and inter-modulation distortion

•Advanced suspension shock mount system that isolates cartridge from handling and stand noise

•Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 Hz

•Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors

•Integrated three-stage 'pop' protection grille reduces plosives, wind, and other breath noise

Applications

The KSM9HS captures and controls the detailed sonic nuances of critical studio performances, while withstanding the punishment of professional live sound reinforcement.

The hypercardioid pick-up pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection and extended gain before feedback, making it an ideal choice in loud environments.

The subcardioid pick-up pattern provides a wide coverage angle with subtle off axis rejection, resulting in a natural sound and minimized proximity effect. The wide coverage angle makes this pattern suitable for capturing multiple sources at once.
