[QUOTE="Dave Gunnell, post: 6468, member: 2898"] Hi Everyone: I currently own 8 channels of Shure UHF series wireless with Beta 87A capsules, and I’ve had great success with them on many different vocal sources, as well as occasional instrument solos at jazz festivals. While they have served me well for many years, I have decided to upgrade the system to UHF-R, and I’m considering ordering the KSM9 capsule this time around. I do not own any wired KSM9s, but I’ve heard very good things about them. I like the fact that the coverage pattern can be switched from cardioid to super depending on the source and isolation needs. While I’m tracking down a KSM9 to audition, I’m interested in opinions from those who have used this capsule. As mentioned earlier, main use will be vocal performance (at times high energy), with occasional use on instruments during jazz festivals. How do they compare to the Beta 87A? Do they sound good on both male and female voices? I’m not overly worried about the additional cost of this capsule, as long as it will be versatile, durable, of excellent sonic quality, and rider friendly. Thoughts from those with experience would be appreciated. Thanks. Dave [/QUOTE]
