Shure KSM27 Studio Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The Shure KSM27 is a side-address condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. Designed for studio use, but rugged enough for live applications, the KSM27 has an externally biased, 1 in. diaphragm, extremely low self-noise, and an extended frequency response specially tailored for vocal tracking and instrument recording.

Features
Cardioid polar pattern - the most commonly used pattern for both studio and live applications

1 in., externally biased, ultra-thin, 24 Karat gold-layered, low mass, Mylar(TM) diaphragm provides superior transient response

Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response and no crossover distortion, while minimizing harmonic and intermodulation distortions

Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors

Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 Hz

Switchable 15 dB pad for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)

3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted background noise or counteract proximity effect

Integrated 3-stage "pop" protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise

Internal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise

Extended frequency response

Low self noise

Exceptional low-frequency reproduction

High output level

High input SPL capability

No crossover distortion

Extremely uniform polar response

Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interference

ShureLock Rubber Isolated Shock Mount

Protective Velveteen Pouch

Applications
Voice - solo, background, voice-over, broadcasting

Acoustic instruments - such as piano, guitar, drums, percussion, strings

Electric instruments such as guitar and bass

Wind instruments - brass and woodwind

Low frequency instruments - such as double bass, electric bass, kick drum

Overhead miking - drums or percussion

Ensembles - choral or orchestral

Room ambiance pickup - guitar amplifier or drums

Microphone use, however, is a matter of personal taste. The KSM27 may be used for a variety of applications other than those listed. Both the acoustic environment and microphone placement strongly affect the sound obtained from miking a source, especially with a high-resolution microphone like the KSM27. You may need to experiment with microphone placement and room treatments to achieve the best overall sound for each application.
