The Shure KSM8 Dualdyne Vocal Microphone is a world-class dynamic vocal microphone that features an innovative cartridge design with ultra-thin dual-diaphragms and an inverted airflow system. The patented Dualdyne capsule helps to eliminate the proximity effect and controls off-axis sound resulting in a sound that is full of crystal-clear definition and free from feedback.
The KSM8 also has a dent-resistant hardened carbon-steel grille which is lined with hydrophobic woven fabric and provides outstanding protection against water/liquid plosive sounds and accidental damage that often occurs in demanding environments. Complete with the legendary Shure quality and reliability, the KSM8 Dualdyne microphone is perfect for live performances, production studios, and broadcasts.
Groundbreaking Engineering The KSM8 delves into unknown territory and has become the first of its kind to offer dual diaphragms suitable for high-end vocal reproduction. The two ultra-thin diaphragms work together with a groundbreaking inverted airflow system to allow the cardioid polar pattern to progress along the entire frequency range. The cardioid pattern focuses solely on the main source of sound and effectively rejects interfering noise and feedback.
Patent-Pending Cartridge Design With an innovative Dualdyne cartridge design, proximity effect becomes a thing of the past as feedback rejection is completely under control. The lack of proximity effect makes the KSM8 extremely versatile in its application and can be used in any situation. Another layer to the KSM8 microphone is the cutting-edge manufacturing methods that utilize ultra-sonic and internal laser welding for outstanding mechanical reliability.
Shure Quality Durability Whilst the KSM8s sound capabilities break the mold, the classic Shure construction quality is still clear to see and feel. The grille has been created with a dent-resistant hardened carbon-steel that delivers excellent protection against wind and breath whilst being waterproof. This rugged construction is hidden by a sleek contemporary cover finished in nickel.
