Condenser Microphone Type

Condenser Microphone Type

Lightweight, sensitive diaphragm. Precisely and smoothly captures sound nuances. Powered by battery or phantom power supply.
Bidirectional Polar Pattern

Bidirectional Polar Pattern

Picks up sound equally from the front and back of the microphone.
Cardioid Polar Pattern

Cardioid Polar Pattern

Picks up the most sound in front of the microphone and some from the sides. Less susceptible to feedback in high volume environments.
OmniDirectional Polar Pattern

OmniDirectional Polar Pattern

Equally sensitive to sound from all directions, but cannot be "aimed" to isolate one area.

Model Lines

The KSM44A is a premium, large-diaphragm, side-address condenser microphone with multiple polar pattern options (cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional).  The refined and sophisticated design of the KSM44A features an externally biased, dual 1-inch diaphragms, extensive internal pop filtering and Prethos® Advanced Preamplifier Technology for a ground-breaking threshold minimum of self-noise.  The KSM44A is the premier choice for the highest level of professional studio and stage performance.

A milestone achievement in sound reinforcement, Prethos Advanced Preamplifier Technology employs transparent internal circuitry architectures that enable unprecedented audio quality and performance.

    • Prethos® Advanced Preamplifier Technology: Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier provides  transparency, extremely fast transient response and no crossover distortion. Minimizes harmonic and intermodulation distortions.  
    • Groundbreaking specifications: 4dB of self-noise and max SPL of 131 dB for a total dynamic range of 127 dB – an increase of 7 dB that defines the new standard for cleanly nuanced audio capture
    • Multiple polar patterns–cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional–for maximum flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications
    • Dual 1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5 μm, 24 Karat gold-layered, low mass diaphragms provide superior frequency response
    • Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors
    • Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 Hz.
    • Switchable 15 dB pad for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
    • 3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted stand vibration noise or counteract proximity effect
    • Integrated three-stage “pop” protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise
