PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
• 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
APPLICATIONS
The KSM27 produces superior results in any application requiring a high quality mi-
crophone. Typical applications include:
• Voice and vocals
• Close-miking of acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, violins, drums, and
percussion
• Electric guitar amplifiers
• Brass and woodwind instruments
• Low-frequency instruments such as double bass and kick drum
• Overhead miking for drums or percussion
• Orchestras, choirs, wind ensembles
• Room ambience pick-up (guitar amplifier or drums)
NOTE: Sound quality is strongly affected by microphone location and room acous-
tics. To acheive the best overall sound for a particular application, it may be neces-
sary to experiment with microphone placement and various room treatments.
OPERATING THE KSM27
Mounting
Use the shock mount to secure the KSM27 to a floor or boom stand by threading the
shock mount onto the microphone stand and inserting/threading the microphone into
the shock mount.
Power
The KSM27 requires phantom power and performs optimally with a 48 Vdc supply
(IEC-268-15/DIN 45 596). However, it will operate with slightly decreased headroom
and sensitivity with supplies as low as 11 Vdc. Most modern mixers provide phantom
power. Phantom power can only be transmitted to the KSM27 through a cable termi-
nated with XLR connectors at each end.
