Shure KSM Microphones - Product Overview

"Shure has outdone themselves with their KSM Studio Series, proving they’re a dominator not only in live applications but in meeting the stringent high-end tonal demands of the largest professional recording facilities." 


Music Industry Newswire, 21.08.2012

"""When Shure says, “optimized for world-class vocal recording and performance applications” they really mean it. And I can appreciate that — I like a niche mic.""

""There’s something weirdly comforting about the thought that I could throw this thing in front of 90 percent of the vocalists that wander in and be perfectly satisfied with the results. It’s a vocal mic. A jack-of-one-trade, albeit a very effective one, both cost- and performance-wise."""
