Shure KSM8 Dual Diaphragm Dynamic Microphone, Black - Secondhand

Full Description

Redefining the microphone

First Shure brought us the legendary Unidyne microphone. Now they bring us the KSM8 Dualdyne - the world’s first twin diaphragm dynamic handheld microphone.

Unlike ordinary microphones, the KSM8 is completely consistent across the entire frequency range. Two high-calibre diaphragms work in unison with a ground-breaking inverted airflow system to deliver the most authentic sound imaginable. There is no colouration or artificial changes to the mid and high frequencies. Finally, your voice will be free from unpleasant harshness or sibilance. Even the tonal variations caused by the proximity effect have been eradicated. With the KSM8, you don't need perfect mic technique to achieve a balanced sound that sits in the mix.

But there's more. Inside the KSM8 is a brand new pneumatic shock mount and diaphragm stabilisation system. These isolate and protect the Dualdyne cartridge from vibrations. It's as if the microphone is suspended in mid air. There's not a trace of handling noise or rumble, no matter how much you like to move. Just your voice. Pure and simple.
