I Fall In Love With My Voice Each Time

I have been a Shure junkie for the longest time and graduated from the SM58 to the SM58 BETA over the years. But my newest acquisition, the Shure KSM9, just blows me away every time. Was one of my bes... read more [+]t decisions ever to buy one. Performing in India, one rarely gets great sounding live options, and I'm done screeching my lungs out just to be audible. Enter KSM9. Whether you're on stage or at your home studio, it makes singing effortless and an absolute pleasure. Finally, as stupid as this may sound, I fall in love with my voice every time! close [-]

Yes, I'm blown away! Being a faithful customer of Sweetwater for many years, and having purchased several musical products, I have come rely on my favorite salesperson, Brian Cravens' advice. He's rig... read more [+]ht again!!! This microphone can make anybody sound better, even me! I was having a lot of feedback on stage with other instruments and floor monitors, but now my problems have been solved. This mike can take care of most all demanding situations. Brian, you're right on target again with this one . . . I'm so glad I purchased it, and Sweetwater couldn't be a greater bunch of guys to do business. No, they are not paying me to say this, but it's the truth. Buying a microphone from a business that are both tops is HEAVENLY! close [-]

I've been partial to Shure mics for the past 15 years and have slowly climbed to the KSM9 (sm58, beta58, beta87). I gave it a test drive last weekend at a small bar with the Bose L1 Compact and T1(bet... read more [+]a 87 setting). I couldn't stop singing!!! My set lasted 2.5 hours with no breaks- the only reason I stopped was to use the bathroom. This mic made singing effortless! close [-]

well, The ksm9 mics are really one of the best for live vocals. since I can't write a review on the wireless Ksm9, I figure I read up on these reviews and do some sound check on shure web page and yes... read more [+] it is what the other two reviewer said and what I hear from shure sound check.
Yep! can't afford wireless ksm9, go for these. Its just a matter of time we are going to welcome these in our wired vocal mics. for now, the three wireless Ksm9 we have is just great. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Mark Magdich
Having been a singer for well over 20 years, I have always looked for a microphone that would deliver excellent output and exceptional consistancy. The KSM9 is the first microphone that actually made singing easier! I could hear every thing I was doing! The supercardioid setting helped get my monitor volume up to a level that didn't have the soundman fighting with an EQ all night. I highly, HIGHLY recommend the KSM9 for every singer out there - no matter what style you sing!
