Overview

Shure KSM44MP Large-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone

The Shure KSM44MP is a large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone with a 1-inch dual-diaphragm capsule and three selectable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional. Shure voices it with a flat response and a subtle high-frequency emphasis that adds natural clarity with a gentle lift.

The dual-diaphragm architecture keeps sensitivity and pattern behaviour consistent and improves off-axis control at low frequencies, which helps when several microphones share a room. Self-noise is 5 dBA in cardioid, 7 dBA in omnidirectional and 8 dBA in bidirectional, so quiet sources stay clean.

Switching pattern lets one microphone suit a focused single source, a wider room or ensemble pickup, or a two-sided arrangement. It connects through a 3-pin XLR and needs 48 V phantom power from a preamp, interface or console.

Corporate AV can supply the KSM44MP for recording, production and education projects in the UAE. Request a quote with your setup details.

Why this product

Key Benefits

  • Three patterns in one microphone

Expert FAQs

What is the Shure KSM44MP?

The Shure KSM44MP is a large-diaphragm multi-pattern condenser microphone with a 1-inch dual-diaphragm capsule and selectable cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional patterns. It is used to record vocals, voiceover, instruments and ensembles.

Which polar patterns does the KSM44MP offer?

Three selectable patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional.

Does the KSM44MP need phantom power?

Yes. It is a condenser microphone powered by 48 V DC phantom power (5.9 mA), so it needs a preamp, interface or console that supplies it. It connects through a 3-pin XLR.

How loud a source can the KSM44MP handle?

Shure specifies a maximum SPL of 130 to 135 dB without the pad (1 kHz, 1% THD, depending on load) and 145 to 150 dB with the 15 dB pad.

What is the KSM44MP used for?

Shure describes it for vocalists, voiceover, instruments, stereo techniques and ensembles, with a flat response and a subtle high-frequency emphasis.

What is the difference between the KSM44MP and the KSM40C?

Shure lists the KSM40C as a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser with a 1-inch capsule. The KSM44MP adds omnidirectional and bidirectional patterns on a dual-diaphragm capsule, so choose it when you need more than cardioid pickup.

What is included with the Shure KSM44MP?

A shock mount with an additional set of 8 shock mount bands, a detachable pop filter, a premium carrying case and a threaded adapter, together with the microphone.
