Shure RPW174 KSM8 Wireless Capsule Core Technologies and Features
- Dualdyne™ Dual-Diaphragm Patented Technology:The world's first dual-diaphragm dynamic microphone design, comprising an active diaphragm and a passive diaphragm, precisely controls the proximity effect, providing an extremely smooth off-axis response and creating a wide sweet spot.
- Proximity Effect Elimination: Completely solves the problem of excessive low-frequency enhancement caused by distance changes in traditional microphones, maintaining a stable, natural tone regardless of how the performer moves, significantly reducing the burden on mixing engineers.
- Precise Cardioid Polar Pattern: Provides excellent off-axis sound rejection, effectively isolating other sound sources and ambient noise on stage, making vocals stand out prominently in the mix while maximizing gain-before-feedback.
- Diaphragm Stabilization System (DSS™): A patented suspension and stabilization system that protects the active diaphragm from unwanted movement, providing excellent noise isolation from both handling noise and stage vibrations.
- Aerospace-Grade SoftMag Magnet Technology: Utilizes magnets made from aerospace material Neodymium-Iron-Boron, generating higher magnetic flux, which in turn enhances output sensitivity and the dynamic performance of the sound.
- Robust and Durable Construction: Features a hardened carbon steel grille with a hydrophobic woven fabric lining, which not only effectively prevents plosives and wind noise but also provides near-waterproof protection, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding live environments.
