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.
Features
- Cardioid polar pattern - the most commonly used pattern for both studio and live applications
- 1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 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
Performance Characteristics
- Extended frequency response
- Low self noise
- Exceptional low-frequency reproduction
- High output level
- High input SPL capability
- No crossover distortion

- ShureLockTM Rubber Isolated Shock Mount
- Protective Velveteen Pouch
Applications
Some typical applications for the KSM27 are listed below. Microphone use, however, is a matter of personal taste. The KSM27 may be used for a variety of applications other than those listed.
- 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 pick-up -- guitar amplifier or drums
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.

| Behringer C-3 Dual-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone
Introducing the Professional Condenser Microphone C-3 from BEHRINGER
Our latest dual-diaphragm condenser microphone C-3 is ideal for high-quality studio recording and live applications.
The selectable omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-eight pickup patterns offer ultimate versatility needed to professionally record vocals and acoustic instruments. The C-3 holds a pressure-gradient transducer with a shock-mounted dual-diaphragm capsule. Its ultra-high sound resolution and flat frequency response rival those of microphones with much higher price tags. It also includes an LED that indicates phantom power operation and a gold-plated XLR output connector to ensure highest signal integrity. The C-3 comes with extensive accessories such as swivel stand and transport case.
The C-3 represents state-of-the-art technology at a price that is simply unheard of. |
