The Shure KSM8 Dualdyne Dynamic Vocal Microphone is a dual-diaphragm dynamic handheld microphone featuring ground-breaking reverse airflow technology and a patented cartridge design with two ultra-thin diaphragms. This microphone has been built from the ground up to accommodate the new technology, giving Shure the opportunity to implement some impressive features. An accurate and flat frequency response means the mic sounds great without a preamp or EQ/processing. The cardioid polar pattern controls bleed for a more natural sound and capture at source, and an unmatched control of proximity effect makes for a large sweet spot during recording.

Being a Shure Dynamic mic the KSM8 naturally carries a tough exterior as well as a dent-resistant, hardened Carbon-Steel grille to protect it from wear and tear (not to mention wind, plosives and water) during use.
