Optimized for singers and speakers in houses of worship and concert venues, this B&H Kit includes the nickel Shure KSM8 Dualdyne handheld microphone, a mic stand with a telescoping boom, a balanced XLR mic cable, and a foam windscreen.

Vocalists and engineers will appreciate the KSM8's reduced proximity effect, greater working distance, and enhanced rejection of handling noise. Plus, its cardioid polar pattern inhibits feedback and its dual-diaphragm dynamic element requires no batteries or phantom power.

Shure KSM8/N Dualdyne Dynamic Handheld Vocal Microphone (Nickel)

The nickel KSM8/N Dualdyne Dynamic Handheld Vocal Microphone from Shure is a dual-diaphragm dynamic microphone crafted for vocal reproduction and sound-reinforcement in live performances and top-tier professional venues.

Featuring one of the most innovative cardioid polar pattern microphones that Shure has developed to date, the Dualdyne cartridge of the KSM8 virtually eliminates proximity effect and masters off-axis rejection while providing the signal clarity typical of condenser microphones without processing. This also provides reliability of a dynamic microphone feedback control.

Patented cartridge design featuring two ultra-thin diaphragms (one active and one passive) and groundbreaking inverted airflow system
Exceptional control of proximity effect vastly increases working distance without on-axis coloration
Accurate frequency response due to controlled proximity effect which allows for neutral mid-and-high frequency reproduction
Off-axis attenuation is flat and broad resulting in superior quality of rejection of unwanted sound sources for increased vocal clarity
Shock Mount design for exceptional rejection of handling noise without any loss of low frequency response
Dent-resistant, hardened carbon-steel grille design lined with hydrophobic woven fabric provides exceptional plosive and wind protection, while offering virtually waterproof protection

Auray MS-65CL Professional Mic Stand with Clutch Lock and Telescoping Boom Arm

The MS-65CL Professional Mic Stand with Clutch Lock and Telescoping Boom Arm from Auray features sturdy, 1" steel tubes and a wide tripod base offering stability for live stage, theater, rehearsal, and recording studio applications. Mic height placement is simple and easy with the clutch lock, which allows you to adjust the height with one hand.

The telescoping boom angle and length are also adjustable with a single locking knob. This makes the MX-65CL stand not only suitable for performers on stage but ideal for miking guitar cabinets as well. This stand and boom arm's rigid stability and solid locking mechanism—when the boom is at full extension—works well in applications for drum overheads or miking the inside of an acoustic piano.

Professional Grade
This mic stand is built to be solid and stable for the stage and other demanding environments. The 1" steel tubes offer rigid strength and durability, and the wide metal tripod base keeps the stand stable even when the boom is at full extension.
Clutch Lock
The clutch lock allows you to adjust the telescoping shaft using only one hand, no need to take both hands off the instrument or put the mic back in the stand clip to adjust the height. Just squeeze the clutch lock and adjust the height to exactly where you want it. It's that easy.
Collapsible and Portable
The tripod legs fold up for portability and convenient storage, and the stand collapses down to 41", which makes it easy to carry in a gear bag or road case.
Ergonomic Locking Knob
The MS-65CL boom arm's length and angle are adjusted with a single ergonomic locking knob for additional ease, operation, and rugged stability. When playing on stage or in the studio and you suspend a mic at the end of a boom, the last thing you want to see is that it is wobbling around. The locking knob secures a firm grip on the boom arm and is easy to use.

Shure KSM8 Reviews

AWESOME Microphone

By Joe
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-08-01

I’ll start with stating that I appreciate doing business with B&H. Super great people backing great products. Fast service. I’ve been using a Shure B87C for many years and I like that mic. A friend of mine bought another brand dynamic mic and he sounded real good. Made me think about getting one also but I’m prefer to stay with Shure. I did some on-line research and talked with other singers I know. I decided to try a KSM9 but to my ears, I heard nothing new or improved over my B87 (compared with flat EQ). I tried both C and SC on the 9 and it still sounded like my 87. Then I decided to try the KSM8. BINGO - we have a winner. The flat sound compared to the 87 brought out more mid to upper natural EQ in my voice. The off axis and distance from the mic is exactly as advertised and I think that's fabulous because I’m a guitar player and thus I don’t need to eat the mic when I sing. So far, I have had no feedback issues. The mic rolls off from picking up sounds beyond its range. I had the opportunity to compare it with the other brand dynamic SC mic and the KSM8 sounds way better to me. It’s worth every penny. Oh and before my B87, I used a B58. If you are looking for an improvement, this is the one in my humble opinion. Thanks B&H.

Received the Shure KSM8 microphone, Auray professional microphone stand, and 30 feet MOGAMI cable from B&H on the promised delivery time. Tested Shure KSM8 microphone and it produced excellent and powerful sound. Love it!
