KSM Microphones:
The People Have Spoken

"I have used quite a few different well-known handheld mics for lead vocals at live recordings. None have matched up to the KSM9. The warmth, presence, and rejection are the best of any handheld being made. This mic is the new standard in my opinion. "

"We have added KSM27 and KSM44 microphones to the inventory of microphones we take on the road. So far we have had them for over two years and around 200 shows, and haven’t had one failure yet."

"We have been using the KSM32 as one of our primary vocal mics in the VFCC Studio for five years. Even against some higher priced pieces, we come back regularly to the KSM for a beautifully warm, but very clean sound with great transient response and excellent presence. A must for every studio mic cabinet."

"When I built my home studio, we tried just about every high priced microphone in the industry in trying to determine which mic would fit my vocal best for future recordings. We tried $4,000 and $5,000 mics and even a $10,000 tube mic, but in the end, for the money we just couldn't argue with the clean, warm sound of the KSM44. I've used it on my last studio project, "Light" and on my new CD "Unveil".
