Shure KSM44MP Large Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone Kit

About: Shure KSM44MP Large Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone Kit

Featuring selectable polar patterns (Cardioid, Omnidirectional and Bidirectional), the KSM44MP provides unparalleled versatility in a sleek, dual-diaphragm design. A precision-engineered 1” capsule delivers natural clarity and a gentle, high-frequency lift that enhances subtle details while remaining smooth. This mic is ideal for modern production styles, including airy vocal texture, subtle overtones, and delicate instrumentation. Dual-diaphragm architecture stabilizes sensitivity and pattern consistency, improving off-axis control at low frequencies for cleaner multi-mic results. An included shock mount and pop filter isolates the microphone from rumbles and vibrations and blocks out plosives. Also includes premium case, hard mount and threaded adapter for a complete accessories suite.

Selectable Polar Patterns

Cardioid, Omnidirectional and Bidirectional: Versatility for vocalists, voiceover, instruments, stereo techniques, and ensembles. The voicing remains elegant and pristine across patterns.

Flat Response with Subtle High-Frequency Emphasis

The Shure engineered 1” capsule guarantees natural clarity with a gentle high-frequency lift that enhances subtle details while remaining smooth. Ideal for modern production styles, including airy vocal texture, subtle overtones, and delicate instrumentation. 

Optimized Polar Consistency & Low-Frequency Rejection

Dual-diaphragm architecture stabilizes sensitivity and pattern consistency, improving off-axis control at low frequencies for cleaner multi-mic results. 

Ultra Low Self Noise

Supports building of clean tracks with more headroom. Capture quiet passages, add gain and compression when needed without hiss building up. 

Sleek, Modern Design

Low profile, lightweight all-metal design with a steel grille makes boom placement easy. Precision￾machined construction highlights the golden capsule and delivers long term reliability for the studio. 

Shock Mount + Detachable, Magnetic Pop Filter & Premium Accessory Suite

The shock mount isolates the microphone from rumbles and vibrations and uses silicone suspension bands that are highly resistant to sagging and wear. A detachable magnetic pop filter easily snaps into place, helping reduce plosive sounds, and a premium carrying case is tailored to store the mic in its shock mount. Hard mount, threaded adapter and additional set of 8 shock mount bands also included.
