KSM27 FRONT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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 extend-
ed 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 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5 µm, 24 Karat gold-layered, low mass, Mylar
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 three-stage "pop" protection grille reduces plosives and other breath
noise
• Internal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise
