Overview:
Aimed at top-tier concert performers, executive-class presenters, and high-end broadcasters and streamers, the Shure KSM11B/C is a handheld vocal microphone featuring a cardioid condenser capsule that combines the rich low-end and clear midrange of dynamic microphones with the natural high-end detail of premium condensers. Purpose-built for professional use, the KSM11 delivers unmatched vocal clarity without the need for excessive processing or EQ adjustments.
Professional-Quality Sound
The proprietary 1/4" gold diaphragm capsule and premium electronics ensure exceptional dynamic range and transparent sound reproduction. The linear midrange response, enhanced high-frequency pickup, and precise balance of maximum SPL, plosives, and proximity effect create a full, rich vocal tone. A deep cardioid polar pattern minimizes off-axis phase distortion, providing focused and pristine sound while rejecting unwanted noise on loud stages. Engineered for today's digital stage technology, the KSM11 offers near-perfect off-axis rejection and a consistent polar response, requiring minimal adjustments during live mixes or recording.
Built for the Stage
The KSM11's streamlined, lightweight design features a dent-resistant steel grille with a 3-stage plosive reduction filter for artifact-free vocals. An advanced suspension system virtually eliminates handling noise, and its elegant black finish makes it ideal for high-profile performances. Whether used in prestigious venues, simulcasts, or premium streaming applications, the KSM11 sets a new standard for professional vocal microphones.
