Performance- and Value-packed Multi-pattern LDC from Shure
Offering the versatility to deploy a range of mic techniques to achieve your desired result, the multi-pattern large-diaphragm condenser microphone is the cornerstone of any well-equipped studio’s mic locker. Tracks captured with the right mic tend to sit perfectly in the mix without needing extensive processing, making for fewer headaches at mixdown. Fortunately, these days you don’t need expensive, exotic mics to reap these benefits. Enter the Shure KSM44MP, a state-of-the-art multi-pattern LDC with a precision-engineered 1-inch capsule that renders any source in crisp, detailed, high fidelity. The KSM44MP’s dual-diaphragm architecture allows for predictable polar pattern consistency, with excellent off-axis low-frequency rejection for cohesive results on multi-mic sources. Ideal for vocals, piano, strings and ensembles, stereo arrays, room mics, drum overheads, and distant miking scenarios, KSM44MP exhibits a natural, flat frequency response with a smooth, airy high-frequency lift that reveals every nuance of vocal and instrumental performances. These qualities make the KSM44MP a perfect choice for contemporary production styles.

Three polar patterns, infinite possibilities
The KSM44MP’s three switchable polar patterns — cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 — give you immense flexibility when it comes to exploring the sonic possibilities offered by different recording techniques. Cardioid will be your go-to for the vast majority of recording and sound-reinforcement tasks. Figure-8 (bidirectional) is ideal for capturing face-to-face recordings, such as two background singers on one mic. Omni is perfect for capturing the ambience of a studio or concert hall. Indeed, you can even mic an entire symphony orchestra with just three judiciously placed KSM44MP microphones set to omni. And with just a matched pair of these superb mics, you can implement such stereo techniques as Spaced Pair (A/B), XY (including Blumlein), ORTF array, and mid-side (M-S).
