SHURE / KSM11B/C-A

The Shure KSM11 cardioid condenser microphone is specifically optimized to faithfully represent the artist's vocals. As touring stage technology continues to evolve, Shure developed the KSM11 to deliver increased linearity and sonic fidelity.

The KSM11's premium cardioid condenser design, featuring a masterful combination of transducer and shock mount technology, provides an exceptionally consistent polar pattern with near-complete rejection of off-axis noise. The result is a natural sound quality that elegantly blends low and midrange clarity with essential high-frequency detail, specifically designed for critical applications like live performance, live event recording, and high-quality streaming.

Features
- The condenser microphone capsule, featuring a 3/4-inch gold diaphragm and premium electronic circuit technology, delivers exceptional dynamic range.
- The exceptionally consistent cardioid polar pattern reduces off-axis phase distortion, resulting in clear, dense vocal reproduction. This results in rich, full bass, clear midrange, and incredibly detailed, natural high frequencies.
- Carefully streamlined design results in a smaller, lighter body (compared to our previous products).
- An advanced isolation system significantly reduces handling noise. - A pressure-resistant, dent-resistant hardened steel grille and a bleed-reduction pop filter deliver consistent, natural sound.
