Designed for live sound performances where vocal clarity and sound quality are absolutely critical, the KSM8 not only meets the most discerning quality and reliability standards, it also has the versatility to adapt to changing environments without impacting performance.
"It's a hit!" stated Chris Pollard, FOH Mumford & Sons. "Marcus really enjoyed the KSM8 on his first gig with it last night at Rock in Roma. As did I. Really clean, flat response, smooth HF and the reduction in spill is quite amazing! He'd like to change the mic out mid tour, Marcus also commented on how good the mic looked, and wanted to use it immediately."
"Being part of the dynamic microphone resurgence has been extremely exciting for me, because our customers were always asking us what's next in dynamic microphones," said Scott Sullivan, senior director of global product management at Shure. "When it comes to microphone technology and development, Shure has, what I consider to be, the "secret formula." In my opinion, no other company, through our exceptional engineering department, could have achieved what we did with the KSM8."
"In order to make the Dualdyne concept a reality, we had to reinvent the way we make dynamic microphones." added John Born, Shure product manager. "We knew the only way to bring the concept to life, was to set all pre-existing parts and template designs aside, and start from scratch. Since then, we've put over seven years of engineering and development into creating something we knew the industry needed, but had never seen. As a result, the introduction of the KSM8 brings an entirely new dynamic microphone element to the world."
