Main Features

Dual 3/4" gold layered, low mass Mylar® diaphragms provide superior frequency response
Dual polar patterns (Hypercardioid and subcardioid) for even greater flexibility
Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier
Advanced suspension shock mount system that isolates cartridge from handling
Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors
Three-stage grille reduces “pop” and breath noise

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.
