Shure KSM11B/C Premium Condenser Microphone, Cardiod, Black

The KSM11 Vocal Microphone redefines vocal performance by providing a prized combination of full lows, clear mids and high-end detail, without the need for extensive EQ. A cardioid condenser designed specifically for live performance, event recording and premium streaming, the KSM11 presents live vocals that must be heard to be believed.

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 and essential high end detail, designed specifically for high-profile wireless applications, including live performance, live event recording and premium streaming.

As modern live stages have transitioned to digital technology, the KSM11 cardioid condenser microphone was developed to take advantage of increased digital audio linearity – equal output across the frequency range.

The KSM11 delivers an elegant balance of full low end, rich mid-range, essential high-end detail, and incredible off-axis rejection. Professional engineers have a near-perfect presentation of vocal performance to build their mixes around, EQing by choice and not default.
