Is the Shure KSM9 a dynamic microphone?
No. The Shure KSM9 is a handheld condenser vocal microphone, so it requires phantom power from a mixer or wireless system.

It is aimed at professional live vocalists, houses of worship, broadcast stages, and touring setups. Shure positions it above workhorse models such as the SM58 and Beta 58A.
