Expanding on the success and innovation of the KSM9, the KSM9HS offers a new set of polar patterns (hypercardioid and subcardioid) to provide the flexibility needed to achieve optimal results in any environment. The hypercardioid pattern delivers excellent gain before feedback and a focused low-end frequency response, while the subcardioid pattern produces an open, natural sound and further reduces the proximity effect. As a premium vocal microphone, the KSM9HS captures vocal subtlety with extraordinary detail to deliver clear articulation, functional flexibility and precise vocal reproduction for live performance. Transformerless, Class A preamplifier circuitry and dual, gold-layered diaphragms capture a transparent sound, revealing every nuance and subtlety in a vocal performance. The KSM9HS uses an advanced suspension shock mount to virtually eliminate handling noise, even in the most demanding live environments.
- Dual 3/4" gold layered, low mass Mylar® diaphragms provide superior frequency response.
- Dual polar patterns (Hypercardioid and subcardioid) for even greater flexibility in demanding performance applications.
- Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier provides transparent, extremely fast transient response with no crossover distortion and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortion.
- Advanced suspension shock mount system that isolates cartridge from handling and stand noise.
- Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors.
- Three-stage grille reduces “pop” and breath noise.
