Overview
The KSM44A is a premium, large-diaphragm, side-address condenser microphone with multiple polar pattern options (cardioid, omnidirectional,
bidirectional). The refined and sophisticated design of the KSM44A features an externally biased, dual 1-inch diaphragms, extensive internal pop
filtering and Prethos™ Advanced Preamplifier Technology for a ground-breaking threshold minimum of self-noise. The KSM44A is the premier choice
for the highest level of professional studio and stage performance.
Features
• A milestone technical achievement, Shure’s Prethos™ Advanced Preamplifier Technology provides 4dB of self-noise and max SPL of 131 dB for a
total dynamic range of 127 dB – an increase of 7 dB that defines the new standard for cleanly nuanced audio capture
• Multiple polar patterns–cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional–for maximum flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications
• Dual 1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5 μm, 24 Karat gold-layered, low mass diaphragms provide superior transient response
• Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely wide frequency response and no crossover distortion. Minimizes har
monic and intermodulation distortions.
• Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors
• Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 Hz.
• Switchable 15 dB pad for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
• 3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted stand vibration noise or counteract proximity effect
• Integrated three-stage “pop” protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise
