GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Shure
R
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
S
Cardioid polar pattern – the most commonly used pattern for both studio and
live applications
S
1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5
µ
m, 24 Karat gold-layered, low
mass, Mylar
R
diaphragm provides superior transient response
S
Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely
fast transient response and no crossover distortion, while minimizing har-
monic and intermodulation distortions
S
Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external con-
nectors
S
Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 Hz
S
Switchable 15 dB pad for handling extremely high sound pressure levels
(SPLs)
S
3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted back-
ground noise or counteract proximity effect
S
Integrated three-stage “pop” protection grille reduces plosives and other
breath noise
S
Internal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise
