With two ultra-thin diaphragms and groundbreaking reverse airflow technology, the KSM8 DualdyneT delivers unmatched control of proximity effect, presence peaks, and bleed and requires minimal EQ and processing. Patented cartridge design features two ultra-thin diaphragms (one active and one passive) and a groundbreaking inverted airflow system. Exceptional control of proximity effect greatly increases working distance without on-axis coloration. Neutral mid- and high-frequency reproduction due to controlled proximity effect results in the most natural-sounding dynamic microphone available. Neodymium magnet resides in a micro-injection mold of aerospace SoftMag material, maximizing the magnetic field for the highest output level. Patent-pending Diaphragm Stabilization System technology protects and stabilizes the active diaphragm from unwanted movement from plosives or impact. Dent-resistant, hardened carbon-steel grille design lined with hydrophobic woven fabric provides exceptional water, plosive and wind protection. Meticulously crafted for world-class vocal performances and presentations in elite venues, the KSM8 Dualdyne is the revolutionary dynamic microphone that only Shure could make. The Shure KSM8 Dualdyne Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone is designed for professional vocalists. Featuring a cardioid polar pattern and XLR 3 Pin connectivity, this dynamic microphone is ideal for capturing clear and detailed vocals. The brand Shure is well-known for producing high-quality audio equipment, and the KSM8 is no exception, offering top-notch performance for live performances or studio recording.
