Features
• Dual 3/4” gold layered, low-mass Mylar
®
diaphragms provide superior frequency
response and proximity control
• Dual polar patterns (hypercardioid and
subcardioid) for maximum flexibility in a
wide variety of performance applications
• Class A, discrete, transformerless
preamplifier for transparency, extremely
fast transient response and no crossover
distortion, while minimizing harmonic and
inter-modulation distortion
• Advanced suspension shock mount system
that isolates cartridge from handling and
stand noise
• Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from
mechanical vibration below 17 Hz
• Premium electronic components, including
gold-plated internal and external connectors
• Integrated three-stage 'pop' protection grille
reduces plosives, wind, and other breath
noise
Performance Characteristics
• Extremely uniform polar response
• Extended frequency response
• Minimal self-noise
• Exceptional low-frequency reproduction
• Able to withstand high SPLs
• High output level
• No crossover distortion
• Superior common-mode rejection and
suppression of radio frequency interference
(RFI)
Model Variations
The KSM9 series consists of two models fea-
turing unique, switchable polar patterns and a
variety of finishes.
KSM9HS:
Features hypercardioid and subcar-
dioid polar patterns with a black finish.
KSM9:
Features cardioid and supercardioid
polar patterns with a charcoal-gray or cham-
pagne finish.
Applications
The KSM9HS captures and controls the de-
tailed sonic nuances of critical studio perfor-
mances, while withstanding the punishment of
professional live sound reinforcement.
The hypercardioid pick-up pattern provides
excellent off-axis rejection and extended gain
before feedback, making it an ideal choice in
loud environments.
The subcardioid pick-up pattern provides a
wide coverage angle with subtle off axis rejec-
tion, resulting in a natural sound and minimized
proximity effect. The wide coverage angle
makes this pattern suitable for capturing mul-
tiple sources at once.
General Description
Expanding on the success and innovation of the
KSM9, the KSM9HS offers a new set of polar
patterns (hypercardioid and subcardioid) to
provide the flexibility needed to achieve optimal
results in any environment. The hypercardioid
pattern delivers excellent gain before feedback
and a focused low-end frequency response,
while the subcardioid pattern produces an open,
natural sound and further reduces the proxim-
ity effect. As a premium vocal microphone, the
KSM9HS captures vocal subtlety with extraor-
dinary detail to deliver clear articulation, func-
tional flexibility and precise vocal reproduction
for live performance. Transformerless, Class
A preamplifier circuitry and dual, gold-layered
diaphragms capture a transparent sound, re-
vealing every nuance and subtlety in a vocal
performance. The KSM9HS uses an advanced
suspension shock mount to virtually eliminate
handling noise, even in the most demanding live
environments.
