KSM9HS Multi-Pattern Dual Diaphragm Handheld Condenser Vocal Microphone
Overview
A premium vocal microphone with switchable hypercardioid and subcardioid polar patterns, the KSM9HS extends the ability captures vocal subtlety
with extraordinary detail to deliver clear articulation, functional flexibility and precise vocal reproduction for a wide range of live performance
applications. Class A transformerless preamplifier circuitry provides transparent sound capture, dual gold-layered diaphragms reveal every nuance and
subtlety and an advanced suspension shock mount virtually eliminates handling noise.
Features
• Dual 3/4" gold layered, low mass Mylar® diaphragms provide superior frequency response.
• Dual polar patterns (Hypercardioid and subcardioid) for even greater flexibility in demanding 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.
• Also available as ULX-D® and QLX-D™ digital wireless handheld transmitters and Axient® and UHF-R® wireless handheld transmitter SKUs
