Page 3: 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 extended frequency response specially tailored for vocal tracking and instrument recording. -
Page 4: Performance Characteristics
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. - Page 5 See Figure 5. Selecting Low-Frequency Response A three-position switch on the back of the KSM27 lets you adjust the low-frequency response of the microphone. The low-frequency filter settings can be used to reduce wind noise, room noise or proximity effect. Since the microphone will reproduce ultra-low frequencies, the rubber isolated shock mount should be used to reduce low-frequency mechanical vibrations transmitted through the microphone stand.
- Page 6 Integral Pop Filter The KSM27 grille consists of 3 separate mesh layers that act as an integral pop filter which helps reduce wind and breath noise. Depending on the performer, an external pop-protection screen or windscreen (See Figure 3) may be necessary when close-miking vocalists.
