Shure has unveiled the KSM Studio Condenser Microphone series and the SLX-D+ Wireless Microphone System at NAMM 2026. The two product lines are designed to deliver a more intuitive, high-performance audio experience for studio and live sound environments.
The new KSM Studio range—comprising the KSM32C, KSM40C, and KSM44MP—is engineered to deliver lifelike sound reproduction with a refined, modern design. Developed for musicians and studio professionals, the latest KSM models offer premium, true-to-life audio capture with ultra-low self-noise, reinforcing the KSM line’s position as a benchmark for professional recording in the Middle East.
Designed to capture every nuance, from vocal warmth to the dynamic detail of instruments, the KSM microphones feature precision-engineered capsules that ensure accuracy and consistency. The lineup supports a range of recording needs, including transparent voicing for natural reproduction, enhanced low-end presence, and multi-pattern flexibility for more complex studio applications.
“At Shure, our mission has always been to empower audio professionals and artists with quality tools that deliver uncompromising sound,” said Eduardo Valdes, associate vice president, global marketing and product management, Shure. “The new KSM microphone line reflects this commitment by offering upgrades to both design and engineering, meeting the evolving needs of recording studios. Featuring circuitry upgrades from previous models, varied capsule options, and premium accessories, we designed every detail to help professionals capture precisely what they want. By making boutique-level quality attainable for both home and professional studios, we’re ensuring exceptional performance is within reach for all professionals.”
Built for precision and performance, the KSM Studio line includes a selection of expertly engineered, hand-crafted capsules ranging from compact ¾-inch designs to robust 1-inch options. These provide strong off-axis rejection, clarity, and creative flexibility for vocals, instruments, and ensembles. Lightweight all-metal construction, advanced shock mounts, and curved magnetic pop filters enhance durability and ease of use, while premium accessories complete the professional setup.
Alongside the KSM Studio microphones, Shure also introduced the SLX-D+ Wireless Microphone System. Building on the success of SLX-D, the enhanced system is designed to combine advanced wireless features with simplified operation for a wide range of applications, including live performance, houses of worship, education, content creation, electronic newsgathering, broadcast, and video production.
SLX-D+ offers greater flexibility, reliability, and control through features such as wide tuning across all components, simplified setup, and reduced inventory complexity. Additional capabilities, including remote system management, AES-256 encryption, and automatic feedback suppression, help ensure secure, clear, and uninterrupted audio performance.
“As we introduce SLX-D+, we’re not just raising the bar for wireless technology; we’re empowering our customers to push creative boundaries by removing complexity from their workflows,” said Nick Wood, associate VP, marketing and product management, Shure. “By making advanced features like wide tuning and remote management accessible to a broader audience, we’re making wireless more resilient to the most common challenges, streamlining the path to great audio, and shaping a future where audio professionals and volunteers alike can innovate with confidence.”
The KSM Studio microphone line will be available this spring, while SLX-D+ components are set to launch in February 2026. Select wireless configurations will be offered for multiple applications, including handheld and bodypack systems, as well as a portable system option. Rechargeable batteries and charging accessories will be sold separately.
