Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The KSM109 was an electret condenser microphone with transformerless output circuitry. It was introduced in 2002 and discontinued in 2009.

The mic had a fixed Cardioid pickup pattern. The capsule is believed to be a small-diaphragm electret design. Shure published the diaphragm composition (2.5-micron gold-sputtered Mylar) but not its size.

The mic included a foam windscreen (A3WS), clip (A25D), and vinyl pouch (A109ZB). Optional shockmount is p/n A55M or A55HM.

The KSM109/SL was discontinued in the spring of 2009. The final U.S retail price was $305.00. The KSM109/SL was replaced by the SM137; see link in sidebar.

The Shure KSM109 is also known as: KSM109/SL.

The mic was released in 2002.
