The Shure
®
KSM44 is a side-address condenser microphone with multiple polar
patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional). Designed for studio use, the
KSM44 has externally biased, dual 1-inch diaphragms, extremely low self-noise
and an extended frequency response specially tailored for vocal tracking and
instrument recording.
FEATURES
• Multiple polar patterns–cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional–for maximum
flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications.
• Dual 1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5
µ
m, 24 Karat gold-layered, low
mass, Mylar
®
diaphragms provide superior frequency response
• Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast
transient response and no crossover distortion. Minimizes harmonic and inter-
modulation distortions.
• Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external
connectors.
• Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 Hz.
• Switchable 15 dB pad for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs).
• 3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted background
noise or counteract proximity effect.
• Integrated three-stage “pop” protection grille reduces plosives and other breath
noise.
• Internal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise.
