GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ShureR 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

SCardioid polar pattern – the most commonly used pattern for both studio and live applications

S1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5 µm, 24 Karat gold-layered, low mass, MylarR diaphragm provides superior transient response

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

SPremium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors

SSubsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 Hz

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

S3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted back- ground noise or counteract proximity effect

SIntegrated three-stage “pop” protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise

SInternal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise
