SHURE INCORPORATED

General Description

The Shure®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.

Performance Characteristics

• Extended frequency response

• Low self-noise

• Exceptional low-frequency reproduction

• Can withstand high sound pressure levels (SPLs)

• High output level

• No crossover distortion

• Uniform polar response

• Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interference (RFI)

Features

• 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,Mylar®

diaphragms provide superior frequency response

• Prethos™ Advanced Preamplifier Technology exhibits extremely low self-noise with superior

dynamic range, transient response and ultra-low distortion for transparent recording

• 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 background noise or counteract

proximity effect

• Integrated three-stage “pop” protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise

• Internal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise

Applications

The KSM44A provides superior results in any application requiring a high quality microphone. Some

typical applications are listed below.

• Voice-solo, background, voice-over or broadcasting

• Acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, drums, percussion, strings

• Wind instruments-brass and woodwind

• Low-frequency instruments such as double bass, electric bass, kick drum

• Overhead miking-drums or percussion

• Ensembles-choral or orchestral

• Room ambience pick-up-guitar amplifier or drums

Acoustic environments and microphone placements strongly affect the sound obtained from mik-

ing a source, especially with a high-resolution microphone like the KSM44A. You may need to

experiment with placement, room treatments and polar pattern to achieve the best overall sound

for each application.

Suspension Mount

Use the supplied ShureLock®suspension mount to secure the microphone to a floor or boom stand.

Important: Thread the knurled locking ring securely to the base of the microphone. Do not overtighten.

Operation

Power Requirements

This microphone requires phantom power and performs best with a 48 Vdc supply (IEC 61938).

However, it will operate with slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity with supplies as low as 11

Vdc.

Most modern mixers provide phantom power. You must use a balanced microphone cable: XLR-to-

XLR or XLR-to-TRS.

Positioning

Position the front of the microphone, with ,

towards the desired sound source.

Selecting a Polar Pattern

The three position switch on the front of the microphone sets the polar response pattern. This

changes the microphone’s sensitivity to sounds coming from different angles.

Cardioid. Picks up sounds directly in front of the microphone and is least sensitive to those in

back. This is most commonly used in studio recording and live-sound applications.

Omnidirectional. Picks up sounds from all directions. Best for picking up room ambience and

for miking several sources simultaneously, such as an ensemble or multiple singers. The om-

nidirectional polar pattern exhibits no proximity effect.

Bidirectional. Picks up equally from the front and back of the microphone while reject-

ing sounds from the sides. Often used for stereo recording (such as mid-side and Blumlein

techniques).

Note: As with all bidirectional microphones, sounds picked up from the back will be out of polarity

with the source. Those from the front are in polarity with the source.

CAUTION: The switch produces mechanical noise which, when amplified, may damage the loud-

speakers. Turn down any loudspeakers or mute the microphone at the mixing console before using

the switch.

Flat Response

Low Frequency Cutoff

Low Frequency Rolloff

Selecting Low-Frequency Response

A three-position switch on the back of the microphone lets you adjust the low-frequency response.

Use the low-frequency filter to reduce wind noise, room noise, or proximity effect.

Flat response. Provides the most natural sound in

most applications.

Low frequency cutoff. Provides an 18 dB-per-octave

cutoff at 80 Hz. Helps eliminate floor rumble and low-

frequency room noise from heating and air condition-

ing systems. This setting may also be used to com-

pensate for proximity effect or to reduce low frequen-

cies that make an instrument sound dull or muddy.

Low frequency rolloff. Provides a 6 dB-per-octave

rolloff filter at 115 Hz. Use this to compensate for

proximity effect or to reduce low frequencies that

could make an instrument sound dull or muddy.

Setting Attenuation

The attenuation switch lets you reduce the signal level without altering the frequency response. This

can prevent extremely loud sounds from overloading the microphone.

0 dB For “quiet” to “normal” sound levels.

-15 dB For use with extremely loud sound sources such as drums, horns, or loud guitar cabinets.

Load Impedance

Maximum SPL capability, output clipping level, and dynamic range vary with the input load impedance

of the preamplifier to which you connect the microphone. Shure recommends a minimum input load

impedanceof1000Ω.Mostmodernmicrophonepreamplifiersmeetthisrequirement.Higherimpedance

results in better performance for these specifications.

Integral Pop Filter

The microphone grille consists of 3 separate mesh layers that act as an integral pop filter. This helps

reduce wind and breath noise. Depending on the performer, an external pop-protection screen or

windscreen may be necessary when close-miking vocalists.
