Shure Announces the KSM8, the World's First Dual-Diaphragm Dynamic Handheld Microphone, More Info: B&H

Audio News: The KSM8 Gives Sound Professionals the Signal Clarity of Condenser Microphones, and the Reliability of Feedback Control Typical of Dynamics

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - January 25, 2016) - In the pro audio world, Shure is a name that needs no introduction, especially when it comes to dynamic microphones. From the iconic SM57 to the ubiquitous SM58 and the classic SM7, Shure has been making top-notch dynamic mics for decades, which are used by legions of sound engineers every day. Now Shure aims to deliver yet another classic, in the form of the KSM8 Dualdyne Cardioid Vocal Dynamic Microphone.

Touted by the company as the world's first dual-diaphragm dynamic handheld microphone, the Shure KSM8's cartridge design features two ultra-thin diaphragms (one active and one passive) and an inverted airflow system. Ideal for live vocalists and presenters that demand top-tier sound reproduction, the mic features a polar pattern that Shure calls its "purest cardioid" to date. The patented Dualdyne cartridge of the KSM8 is designed to eliminate proximity effect, and provide excellent off-axis rejection. It's aimed to give sound professionals the signal clarity typical of condenser microphones, along with the reliability of feedback control typical of dynamics.
