Shure KSM11 Condenser Vocal Microphone with Cardioid Polar Pattern and Gold Diaphragm (Black)

The Shure KSM11 Vocal Microphone in Black redefines vocal performance by providing a prized combination of full lows, clear mids and high-end detail, without the need for extensive EQ. With a cardioid condenser designed specifically for live performance, event recording and premium streaming, the KSM11 presents live vocals that must be heard to be believed. It has a proprietary condenser cartridge utilizing a 3/4-inch gold diaphragm and premium electronics for exceptional dynamic range. The highly consistent, deep cardioid polar pattern reduces off-axis phase distortion for pristine and focused vocal reproduction. The advanced suspended isolation system creates virtually zero handling noise. It has a dent-resistant hardened steel grille with 3-stage plosive reduction pop filtering for consistent, artifact-free vocals. As modern live stages have transitioned to digital technology, the KSM11 cardioid condenser microphone was developed to take advantage of increased digital audio linearity - equal output across the frequency range. The KSM11 delivers an elegant balance of full low end, rich mid-range, essential high-end detail, and incredible off-axis rejection. Professional engineers have a near-perfect presentation of vocal performance to build their mixes around, EQing by choice and not default. You have simply never heard vocals sound this good.
