Shure KSM8 Dualdyne Dynamic Handheld Vocal Microphone Nickel Shure KSM8 Dualdyne Dynamic Handheld Vocal Microphone Nickel – Microphone from Shure is a dual-diaphragm dynamic microphone crafted for vocal reproduction and sound-reinforcement in live performances and top-tier professional venues.Featuring one of the most innovative cardioid polar pattern microphones that Shure has developed to date, the Dualdyne cartridge of the KSM8 virtually eliminates proximity effect and masters off-axis rejection while providing the signal clarity typical of condenser microphones without processing. This also provides reliability of a dynamic microphone feedback control. 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 Off-axis attenuation is flat and broad resulting in superior quality of rejection of unwanted sound sources for increased vocal clarity 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 Shure KSM8 Specs Cartridge Type Dual-Diaphragm dynamic (moving coil) Frequency Response 40 Hz to 16 kHz Polar Pattern Cardioid Output Impedance 300 ohms Sensitivity -51.5 dBV/Pa (1.85 mV) at 1 kHz, open circuit voltage Polarity Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin-2 with respect to pin-3 Connector 3-pin XLR male Housing Die-cast aluminum with paint or brushed nickel finish Dimensions Not specified by manufacturer Net Weight 11.6 oz (330 g) Packaging Info Package Weight 1.535 lb Box Dimensions (LxWxH) 10.1 x 4.85 x 3.35 Shure
