Shure's first-ever dual-diaphragm
Definition:
The moving portion of a microphone that transforms sound waves into motion that can ultimately produce electrical waves. dynamic handheld microphone, the KSM8 Dualdyne microphone breaks new ground in microphone design. The KSM8 was painstakingly crafted for the highest possible audio quality for live sound applications, and thanks to the Dualdyne dual-diaphragm cartridgeDefinition:
A replaceable element. A "Phono Cartridge" hold a stylus for vinyl playback. Also refers to various tape cartridges, memory cartridges, and Broadcast Cartridges. found in this microphone, it has the purest cardioidDefinition:
A microphone's heart-shaped directional pickup pattern. polar patternDefinition:
A graphic representation illustrating in positional degrees the sensitivity or radiation of a microphone, speaker, or antenna. available in a Shure product.
This means that the off-axisDefinition:
The characteristic of signals coming to, or emanating from, a less-sensitive point of a microphone, speaker, or antenna, or a point that doesn't radiate the most power. For example, sound addressing a microphone outside the angle of maximum pickup is considered off-axis or off-mic. See Axis. rejection on this microphone is incredibly smooth – even in high volume environments – so feedback is much less of a concern when using this mic. Plus, the Dualdyne cartridge all but eliminates proximity effectDefinition:
A phenomenon where most microphones with cardioid or figure-8 polar patterns exaggerate bass frequencies as the sound source moves closer to the microphone. Also called Bass Tip-Up., so there's no need to worry about artificially boosted low-end frequencyDefinition:
A value, expressed in Hertz, that indicates how many cycles of a periodic signal occur in one second. content coming through this microphone.
