| 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.
