Shure KSM9 Handheld Microphone

The Shure KSM9/CG is a microphone designed for handheld use and built with a condenser capsule that reveals subtle vocal nuances on demanding stages. Its switchable cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns allow a singer to adapt quickly to different monitor setups or room acoustics while maintaining consistent tonal balance.

Inside the capsule, dual 19 mm diaphragms that are gold layered work together to control proximity effect and deliver a top end that sounds smooth and detailed. A transformerless Class A preamplifier lowers distortion and preserves transient detail, so your mix engineer can leave the channel EQ almost flat. Shure adds a three-stage grille that tames plosives, a subsonic filter that removes rumble below 17 Hz, and an internal suspension system that keeps handling noise out of the PA. The balanced XLR output with gold plated pins ensures a clean connection to any professional console or interface.

From festival main stages and broadcast sets to houses of worship and corporate events, the KSM9/CG helps vocalists cut through high sound pressure instruments without sounding harsh. Touring engineers appreciate its predictable gain before feedback and the included aluminum case that protects the microphone between shows. A sturdy mic clip lets you mount it on a stand when the performance calls for a hands free moment.
