KSM27 Large Single-Diaphragm 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-inch 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 applications1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 24 Karat gold-layered, low mass, Mylar® diaphragm provides superior transient responseClass A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response and no crossover distortion, while minimizing harmonic and intermodulation distortionsPremium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectorsSubsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 HzSwitchable 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 effectIntegrated three-stage 'pop" protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noiseInternal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise Performance Characteristics:Extended frequency responseLow self noiseExceptional low-frequency reproductionHigh output levelHigh input SPL capabilityNo crossover distortionExtremely uniform polar responseSuperior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interferenceShureLockTM Rubber Isolated Shock MountProtective Velveteen Pouch Applications: Some typical applications for the KSM27 are listed below. Microphone use, however, is a matter of personal taste. The KSM27 may be used for a variety of applications other than those listedVoice -- solo, background, voice-over, broadcastingAcoustic instruments -- such as piano, guitar, drums, percussion, stringsElectric instruments such as guitar and bassWind instruments -- brass and woodwindLow frequency instruments -- such as double bass, electric bass, kick drumOverhead miking -- drums or percussionEnsembles -- choral or orchestralRoom ambiance pick-up -- guitar amplifier or drums 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.
