ShureKSM8/B Dualdyne Vocal Microphone

The media could not be loaded. As a harpist and singer I found that this microphone provided me with exactly what I needed for my acoustic set up (Harp and Voice). I found it warmer than the SM58 which I have had for a long time.This is 3x times more expensive than the SM58, but I prefer it 1000x over. I am not tech savvy with all the right words to describe why I think this mic is the best, but I have expeknriece on stage and at small events such as weddings, etc. and this mic has not let me down.I also love the weight and the beautiful blackness of it. It is simply perfect.It is not an easy mic to find available in the local shops, but I fully recommend ordering this from Amazon as you won't be disappointed. Shure, as always, is sure to deliver quality.

Si lo sabes usar correctamente, notarás la gran diferencia que con un micrófono de baja gama. Éste micrófono es para sacar provecho a la dinámica y matices de tu voz, y especialmente cuando lo sostienes con tus manos, porque es cuando controlas la distancia y juegas con todo el rango y dinámica que éste micrófono de calidad te ofrece.Notarás que el volumen disminuye un poco a diferencia del micrófono convencional, y no te dejes engañar por esta apariencia: esa sensación de que baja el volumen es completamente normal, para que el rango de captación sea amplio y no solo cuando estás cerca de la cabeza del micrófono.

This mic arrived in the Shure factory box, with no shipping container to protect the factory box, and the box was all beat up, and had a big Amazon shipping label over the Shure logo on the box. I like to keep the boxes of expensive musical gear, but this box was almost destroyed. Not to mention it was open. I am surprised the mic survived the trip. They could have at least taped it closed. I notice there are several review of this and the similar KSM9 where the packaging was no good. Amazon puts toilet paper in a shipping container, but not high end microphones.I decided to keep it based on my experience with the cheaper but comparable SM57. The SM57 is super durable, so I expect this mic is not damaged by the poor shipping.As far as the mic is concerned it is great, and worth the high price.It is marketed as a stage hand held vocal mic, but I use it in my studio on a mic stand for vocals. It has a great sound to it, I will call it creamy sounding. and it is not sensitive to the singer being slightly off axis or changing distance. This is important if you need to briefly look down at your guitar, or glance at the sheet music.I sing into it with headphones, and it has changed the way I perform, and definitely improved my recordings of my voice.This mic is a high end dynamic microphone. I have several high end condenser mics, but I don't use them very often. They are too sensitive. They will pickup the sound of the air conditioner, birds chirping outside, the squeak in you chair, and the sound leaking from your headphones. They also will pickup the room's reverberation, so if you have an untreated room, those high end condensers will sound bad. This KSM8 has good room rejection, and that is important to me, even though my room is pretty well acoustically treated.Shure also makes the very popular SM7B, which is another dynamic mic that costs the same as the KSM8. The SM7B is marketed for broadcast work. You seem to see it in half of all podcasts these days. And I am seeing it used for lead singers more and more. I had an SM7B and it is a great mic. I am sure on some voices it will be a better mic than the KSM8, but on my voice I prefer the KSM8. I noticed the KSM8 is more forgiving to singer's movement. Also, the SM7B is large and heavy, so you need to have a quality mic stand or it will tend to fall over. And the SM7B has a low output that requires a high gain pre amp, or a "cloudlifter". I don't recommend the cloudlifter approach of putting a cheap booster on the mic if you are trying to record professional level vocals. If you want to use a SM7B you should find a high end high gain microphone preamp that will do it justice. The KSM8 has similar output to the tried and true SM57. Of course you still want a high end pre-amp, but it does not have to have particularly high gain. So for singers, I think this mic is just lightly better than the SM7B.So 5 stars for the mic, and 1 star for the packaging.
