The KSM8 Dualdyne dynamic microphone features a patented cartridge design with two ultra-thin diaphragms and groundbreaking reverse airflow technology.

- Frequency Response: 40 to 16,000 Hz
- Cardioid Polar Pattern
- Output Impedance: 300 ohms
- Sensitivity at 1 kHz (open circuit voltage): -51.5 dBV/Pa (1.85 mV)
- Net Weight: 330g / 11.64oz.
- Connector: Three-pin professional audio (XLR), male
- Housing: Die-cast Aluminum with Paint or Brushed Nickel Finish
The KSM8 Dualdyne microphone has several wired, UHF-R, ULX-D Digital, Axient and QLX-D Digital variations (the last two only available in black) for prices starting at $499. More details available from Shure's website.
