It features Prethos™ Advanced Preamplifier Technology for a ground-breaking threshold minimum of self-noiseElectrical noise in a system that is produced by the electronics in the system itself.The KSM44A is a premier choice for the highest level of professional studio and stage performance.
- Transducer TypeA transducer converts sound into an electrical signal. The two most common types are dynamic and condenser. : CondenserCondenser microphones are more sensitive, give a smooth, natural sound and need to be powered.Read moreGo to the glossary
- Polar PatternPolar pattern describes how well the microphone hears sound from different directions.Read moreGo to the glossary: OmnidirectionalEqually sensitive to sound from all directions, but cannot be „aimed“ to isolate one area.Read moreGo to the glossary, BidirectionalPicks up sound equally from in front and behnd the microphone., CardioidPicks up most sound in front of the microphone and some from the sides. It is less susceptible to feedback in high volume environments.
