The KSM44A is designed for audiophiles who demand the best. It boasts groundbreakingly low self-noise, pristine internal and external connections, and extremely fast transient response. It also comes with essential accessories, so you can start recording straight out of the box.

Built for precision, the KSM44A utilizes premium components to deliver transparent and accurate sound. It features Prethos internal circuitry architecture that ensures only the finest sound capture. The microphone has a dual condenser element with ultra-thin 2.5-micron 24-karat gold-layered Mylar diaphragms, which provide superior transient response and a wide uniform frequency response. With the KSM44A, you can focus on your performance, as it eliminates distortion, unwanted noise, and coloration. It has silent operation with groundbreakingly low self-noise and built-in features like a subsonic filter to eliminate mechanical vibrations and a three-stage pop filter to reduce plosives, wind, and breath noises. The microphone also has an internal shock mount that reduces handling and stand noise for improved clarity during demanding performances.

The KSM44A offers total flexibility with its multiple polar pattern configurations. It is suitable for various recording applications, including vocals, acoustic and wind instruments, low-frequency instruments, overhead miking, and ensemble miking. It also has a 15dB attenuation pad to record high-output sources without distortion and a three-position low-frequency filter to tame low frequencies. Whether you need to record vocals or capture the sound of a full band, the KSM44A has you covered.
