Product Description
Shure KSM44A/SL Multi-Pattern Dual-Diaphragm Condenser Side-Address Vocal Microphone
Shure's KSM44A is a premium, large-diaphragm, side-address condenser microphone with multiple polar pattern options (cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional). The refined and sophisticated design of the KSM44A features an externally biased, dual 1-inch diaphragms, extensive internal pop filtering and Prethos Advanced Preamplifier Technology for a ground-breaking threshold minimum of self-noise.
The KSM44A is the premier choice for the highest level of professional studio and stage performance. The KSM44A/SL includes ShureLock suspension shock mount, ShureLock stand mount, carrying case, and velveteen pouch.
Features
- A milestone technical achievement, Shure’s Prethos Advanced Preamplifier Technology provides 4dB of self-noise and max SPL of 131 dB for a total dynamic range of 127 dB – an increase of 7 dB that defines the new standard for cleanly nuanced audio capture
- Multiple polar patterns–cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional–form maximum flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications
- 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)
- Dual 1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5 µm, 24 Karat gold-layered,low mass diaphragms provide superior transient response
- Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency,extremely wide frequency response and no crossover distortion. Minimizes harmonic and intermodulation distortions.
- 3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted stand vibration noise or counteract proximity effect
- Integrated three-stage "pop" protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise
