Featuring integral pop protection and shock-mounting plus a multipattern true condenser capsule and transparent Class-A circuitry with ultralow self-noise, the Shure KSM44A/SL large-diaphragm microphone is built to deliver excellent transient response, neutral tone, and the flexibility to handle most sound sources and mic configurations. Its flat frequency response and selectable settingstwo low-cut filter options and a -15 dB padmake the KSM44A/SL honest and versatile, so it can be used on anything from vocals and guitars to drums and piano.
