zZounds Gear Experts Say...

Shure's state-of-the-art successor to the top-notch KSM44A, this multi-pattern 1" condenser brings out the best on any source with a subtle high-end boost.

Overview

Featuring selectable polar patterns (Cardioid, Omnidirectional and Bidirectional), the KSM44MP provides unparalleled versatility in a sleek, dual-diaphragm design. A precision-engineered 1" capsule delivers natural clarity and a gentle, high-frequency lift that enhances subtle details while remaining smooth. This mic is ideal for modern production styles, including airy vocal texture, subtle overtones, and delicate instrumentation.

Dual-diaphragm architecture stabilizes sensitivity and pattern consistency, improving off-axis control at low frequencies for cleaner multi-mic results. An included shock mount and pop filter isolates the microphone from rumbles and vibrations and blocks out plosives. Also includes premium case, hard mount and threaded adapter for a complete accessories suite.
