Shure KSM11 Wired Cardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone

The Shure KSM11 wired vocal microphone is specifically optimized to accurately project and present artist vocals. As stages have transitioned to more fully embrace digital technology, Shure developed the KSM11 to take advantage of increased linearity and control enabled by this transition. Featuring a premium cardioid condenser design, the KSM11 offers near-perfect off-axis rejection and a highly consistent polar response from an expertly crafted combination of transducer and shock mount technology. The result is an elegant and natural combination of low- and mid-range clarity together with essential high-end detail designed specifically for prominent applications, including live performance, live event recording, and premium streaming.
