The Shure KSM8 is a revolutionary microphone that utilizes two ultra-thin diaphragms to produce unparalleled sound complexity. By breaking the traditional rules, Shure has created a microphone that eliminates boomy sounds and effectively suppresses background noise. Whether you’re performing in a loud band or in a large venue, your voice will shine with clarity and realism like never before. Additionally, the KSM8 is incredibly durable with a hardened-steel grille and specialized fabric that protects the components from moisture. Its construction using advanced laser welding techniques ensures precise performance every time.
Redefining the microphone industry, Shure introduces the KSM8 Dualdyne, the world’s first twin diaphragm dynamic handheld microphone. Unlike ordinary microphones, the KSM8 delivers consistent sound across the entire frequency range. Two high-caliber diaphragms work together with an innovative inverted airflow system to produce an incredibly authentic sound. There are no artificial changes or coloration in the mid and high frequencies, resulting in a voice that is free from harshness and sibilance. Even the tonal variations caused by the proximity effect have been eliminated. With the KSM8, achieving a balanced sound that fits perfectly in the mix doesn’t require perfect microphone technique.
Furthermore, the KSM8 features a new pneumatic shock mount and diaphragm stabilization system that isolates and protects the Dualdyne cartridge from vibrations. It feels as though the microphone is suspended in mid-air, completely eliminating handling noise or rumble. The focus is solely on your voice, pure and simple.
The package includes the Shure KSM8 Dualdyne Cardioid Microphone in Black, a carrying pouch, and a stand adapter. The KSM8 boasts exceptional build quality thanks to advanced laser-welding manufacturing methods. Its dent-resistant carbon-steel grille can withstand extensive touring, and the hydrophobic woven fabric keeps the high-quality components safe.
