Shure KSM9/CGHandheld Vocal Microphone(Charcoal Gray)

The KSM9/CG is Shure's handheld condenser vocal microphone in a charcoal gray finish, built for lead singers who want studio detail on a live stage. Its dual gold-layered, low-mass Mylar diaphragm design gives an even, consistent response across the range, with more gain before feedback and less proximity effect than most stage vocal mics, so a voice stays natural whether the singer works close or backs off.

A switch selects between cardioid and supercardioid patterns, letting the mic match the monitor setup and stage layout, tighter rejection when bleed is a problem or a broader pickup when it is not. It responds from 50 to 20,000 Hz, handles up to 152 dB SPL, and runs on 11-52V phantom power. The charcoal gray finish keeps it low-profile under stage lighting.
