The Shure KSM44A/SL Side-Address Condenser Vocal Microphone is a large-diaphragm, side-address condenser microphone with multiple polar pattern options, including cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8. The KSM44A features an externally biased, dual 1" diaphragm, extensive internal pop filtering and Prethos Advanced Preamplifier Technology for low self-noise.

The Shure KSM44A/SL Side-Address Condenser Vocal Microphone is a large-diaphragm, side-address condenser microphone with multiple polar pattern options, including cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8. The KSM44A features an externally biased, dual 1" diaphragm, extensive internal pop filtering and Prethos Advanced Preamplifier Technology for low self-noise.

As a multiple pattern (cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional) condenser microphone the Shure KSM44A offers great flexibility in a variety of recording applications. It is designed as a premium vocal microphone for studio recording, but additional recommended applications include

- Acoustic and wind instruments
- Low frequency instruments -- such as double bass, electric bass, kick drum
- Overhead miking - drums or percussion
- Ensembles - choral or orchestral

Prethos Advanced Preamplifier Technology consists of highly sophisticated, extremely transparent internal circuitry architectures that enable unprecedented seamless audio, maximizing audio quality for premium microphone performance. With Prethos the KSM44A achieves ground-breaking specifications: 4 dB of self-noise with the cardioid pickup pattern.

The KSM44A comes with all features that a premium and flexible studio mic needs: dual large diaphragms with switchable polar patterns for a nuanced, clear and full sound, extremely low self-noise, high sensitivity, minimized proximity effect, 3-position low frequency filter. A spider shock mount and an Aluminium carrying case come with KSM44A. With the rugged design and the 15 dB pad the microphone is also used on stage.

The KSM44A is built with premium components such as the dual 1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5 m, 24 Karat gold-layered, low mass diaphragms. Internal and external connectors are gold plated.

Features

  • Dual 1-inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5 micron, 24-karat gold-layered, low mass, Mylar? diaphragms provide superior transient response
  • Multiple polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional for maximum flexibility in a wide variety of applications
  • Prethos - Advanced Preamplifier Technology: provides transparency, extremely fast transient response and no crossover distortion, minimizes harmonic and intermodulation distortions
  • Ground breaking self-noise specifications: 4 dB (cardioid), 6 dB (omnidirectional), 7.5 dB (bidirectional)
  • Full-range frequency response (20 Hz - 20 KHz) for an extremely accurate reproduction of voice and instruments
  • Highly consistent polar patterns
  • Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors
  • Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 Hz
  • 15 dB attenuation switch for handling high input SPL sound sources
  • 3-position switchable low-frequency filter virtually eliminates unwanted background noise and controls proximity effect
  • Durable zinc die-cast housing and hardened low carbon steel grille to protect the cartridge from accidental drops or misuse
  • An integrated three-stage pop protection grille to guard against wind and breath noise
  • An internal shock mount to reduce unwanted handling and stand noise
