Shure KSM44A SL

Shure KSM44A, a studio microphone with a large diaphragm, condenser with multiple polar patterns. It includes the patented Prethos™ Advanced Preamplifier Technology that offers an extraordinary threshold and minimal self-noise.

Being a multi-pattern microphone (cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional), the KSM44A offers high flexibility in a variety of recording applications. It is primarily designed as a premium vocal microphone for studio recordings, but it can also be successfully used in other applications:

• acoustic instruments and wind instruments
• low-frequency instruments - double bass, electric bass, bass drum
• overhead for drums and percussion
• choir or orchestral ensembles

Prethos™ Advanced Preamplifier Technology
