Setting Attenuation
The attenuation switch on the KSM137 lets you reduce the signal level by up to 25 dB without altering frequency response. This can prevent extremely loud sounds from overloading the microphone. Set the switch to the desired attenuation levels as follows:
0 dB – Move the switch to this position for “quiet” to “normal” sound levels.
0.75meters (2 feet) from sound sources such as a kick drum, snare drum, or electric guitar cabinet.
