  • Page 4: General Description

    The Shure KSM9 is a dual-pattern (cardioid and supercardioid) handheld condenser microphone. Designed expressly for live vocal performance applications, the KSM9 removes the boundary between the studio and stage, offering the finest and clearest performance on modern high-end touring systems. The large dual diaphragm provides consistent polar response across the entire frequency range, for higher gain-before-feedback and minimal proximity effect for clear vocal reproduction.
  • Page 5: Model Variations

    The KSM9 is the ideal microphone for touring musicians, regardless of venue. The frequency response of the two patterns on the KSM9 sound nearly identical, making it possible to choose a pattern most suitable for a given application. The cardioid pick-up pattern provides excellent sound isolation and gain before feed-back with minimal off-axis coloration.
  • Page 6 See Figure 5. Phantom Power The KSM9 requires phantom power and performs optimally with a 48 Vdc sup- ply (IEC-268-15/DIN 45 596). However, it will operate with slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity with power supplies as low as 11 Vdc.

    Impedance A minimum load impedance of 800 ohms should be used for maximum signal handling and minimum distortion. The impedance may be as low as 150 ohms, but a reduction in output level and output clipping level will result. SPECIFICATIONS Cartridge Type Condenser (Electret Biased) Frequency Response...
