Shure KSM11B-C
The proprietary condenser capsule features a 3/4" gold diaphragm and premium electronics, delivering impressive dynamics and accurate transient reproduction.
Its tightly controlled cardioid polar pattern minimizes off-axis phase distortion, ensuring perfectly focused vocal reproduction with deep bass, linear and transparent midrange, and crisp, detailed highs.
Its optimized design reduces the size and weight of the capsule, making it more compact and lightweight.
The advanced internal suspension system provides effective isolation, reducing handling noise to virtually zero.
The odor-resistant, hardened steel grille is equipped with a 3-stage pop filter for consistent, artifact-free vocal reproduction.
The wireless capsules in black or nickel (RPW192 and RPW194) are available separately and are compatible with all Shure handheld transmitters with interchangeable capsules.
The Shure KSM11 microphone has been specifically designed to reproduce the voices of artists with exceptional accuracy. With advances in touring technology, Shure developed the KSM11 to take advantage of improvements in linearity and fidelity. Its high-quality cardioid condenser design provides near-perfect off-axis rejection and an extremely flat frequency response across its entire polar pattern. With its clever driver mounting and shockmount, the KSM11 delivers smooth, natural clarity in the lows and mids, while delivering precise detail in the highs. This microphone is ideal for applications that demand exceptional sound quality, such as live performances, live recordings, and high-end streaming.
Pattern: Cardioid
Frequency Response: 80 Hz to 20 kHz
Output Impedance (at 1 kHz): 150 Ω
Sensitivity at 1 kHz, open circuit voltage:
At 1 kΩ: –49 dBV/Pa (3.5 mV)
At 5 kΩ: –48 dBV/Pa (3.9 mV)
1 Pa = 94 dB SPL
Maximum Sound Pressure Level (SPL max): 149 dB SPL at 5 VDC
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (S/N):
At 1 kΩ: 130 dB
At 5 kΩ: 131 dB
The signal-to-noise ratio is measured between 94 dB SPL and the equivalent level of self-noise, weighted
Dynamic Range (at 5 VDC):
At 1 kΩ: 6.2 dBV
At 5 kΩ: 7.7 dBV
Saturation Level (with 5 VDC): 19 dB SPL
Self-Noise (weighted): > 55 dB SPL
Connector: Balanced 3-pin male XLR
Positive pressure on the diaphragm produces a positive voltage on pin 2 relative to pin 3
Polarity: Positive voltage on pin 2 relative to pin 3
Power Requirements:
11 to 52 VDC phantom power (IEC-61938)
Maximum Current: 5.2 mA
Weight: 239 g
Dimensions: 48.7 mm x 76.3 mm
Housing: Steel and aluminum grille
Note: All specifications were measured with 48 VDC phantom power. The microphone operates at lower voltages, but with slightly reduced sensitivity.
