KSM44A/SL (PZA) MICROPHONE
Large diaphragm multi-pattern condenser microphone
The multi-pattern condenser microphone offers great recording versatility thanks to its various patterns. It features a dual gold Mylar diaphragm for excellent transient response, a subsonic filter, and a preamp.
Featuring integral pop protection and shock mount, plus a multi-pattern true condenser capsule and transparent Class A circuitry with ultra-low self-noise, the Shure KSM44A/SL large-diaphragm microphone is designed to deliver excellent transient response, a neutral tone, and the flexibility to handle most sound sources and microphone configurations.
Its flat frequency response and selectable settings, two low-cut filter options and a -15 dB pad, make the
KSM44A/SL is honest and versatile, so it can be used on anything from vocals and guitars to drums and piano.
Characteristics
- Lightweight, ultra-thin (2.5 microns), 24K gold-plated, externally biased 1-inch Mylar® dual diaphragm for superb transient response.
- Multiple polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, and bidirectional, for maximum flexibility in a wide range of applications.
- Advanced Prethos™ preamp technology: extremely fast, transparent transient response with zero crossover distortion and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortion.
- Incredible self-noise values: 4 dB (cardioid), 6 dB (omnidirectional), 7.5 dB (bidirectional).
- Full-range frequency response (20 Hz to 20 kHz) for completely accurate reproduction of voice and instruments.
- Very constant polar patterns.
- Top-quality electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors.
- Subsonic filter that eliminates noise from mechanical vibrations below 17 Hz.
- 15 dB attenuation allows working with high SPL sound sources.
- 3-position low-frequency filter that virtually eliminates background noise and counteracts proximity effect.
- Durable zinc die-cast housing and tempered steel grill construction to protect the capsule from potential accidents and misuse.
- Three-layer metal grille protects the microphone from wind and breath noise.
- Internal anti-shock system that reduces microphone handling noise.
