Shure KSM44 Microphone Review

Great on the low-end

To begin this Shure KSM44 microphone review, this product is a heavyweight when it comes to recording capabilities. It sports three types of polar patterns; cardioid, omni and figure-of-eight. It is a condenser microphone that can be used in a studio environment or for live shows and is designed specifically to capture vocals. However, the Shure KSM44 microphone sports an impressive lower-end response, which means it can be used as a bass microphone or a pickup mic for the bass drum on the drum kit.

A toggle switch on the microphone’s body allows you to change between the above polar patterns or between the different filter modes: 6dB/octave cut below 115Hz, 18dB/octave cut below 80Hz, and bypass. The capsule of the microphone is shock-mounted, which helps to filter out low-frequency noise.

During recordings, the Shure KSM44 microphone provides steady high notes as well as extensive response to bass. The cardioid mode captures the sound of a single voice with much efficiency while the omni mode captures a pure open sound that is ideal for recordings of live shows.

As a conclusion to this Shure KSM44 microphone review, the device is a great choice for a multi-pattern microphone, and gives a little extra with the extended low-end response, which places it a cut above other condenser multi-pattern microphones.
