Product Specifications

KSM8 Dualdyne™ Handheld Dynamic Vocal Microphone


Overview
The premium KSM8 Dualdyne Cardioid Vocal Dynamic Microphone is a groundbreaking feat of engineering design as the world’s first-ever dual-diaphragm
dynamic handheld microphone. Meticulously crafted for revolutionary vocal reproduction and sound-reinforcement control for world-class live performance
in top-tier professional venues. Featuring the single purest cardioid polar pattern that Shure has developed to date, the patented Dualdyne cartridge of
the KSM8 virtually eliminates proximity effect and masters off-axis rejection while providing sound professionals the signal clarity typical of condenser
microphones without processing, along with the reliability of dynamic microphone feedback control.

Features
• Patented cartridge design featuring two ultra-thin diaphragms (one active and one passive) and groundbreaking inverted airflow system.
• Exceptional control of proximity effect vastly increases working distance without on-axis coloration.
• Accurate frequency response due to controlled proximity effect which allows for neutral mid-and-high frequency reproduction, resulting
in the most natural sounding dynamic microphone available.
• Off-axis attenuation is flat and broad resulting in superior quality of rejection of unwanted sound sources for increased vocal clarity.
• Advanced Pneumatic Shock Mount design for exceptional rejection of handling noise without any loss of low frequency response.
• Dent-resistant, hardened carbon-steel grille design lined with hydrophobic woven fabric provides exceptional plosive and wind
protection, while offering virtually waterproof protection.
• Available in select Shure wireless systems, compatible with all interchangeable Shure handheld wireless transmitters
