The Shure KSM137 is an end-address condenser microphone with a
cardioid polar pattern. Designed for studio use, yet rugged enough for live
applications, the KSM137 can withstand extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL).
Its low self-noise and extended frequency response make it ideal for recording
musical instruments.
Features
- A highly consistent cardioid polar pattern
- Ultra-thin, 2.5 micron, 24 karat gold-layered, low mass Mylar®
diaphragm for superior transient response
- Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency,
extremely fast transient response, no crossover distortion, and minimal
harmonic and intermodulation distortion
- Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external
connectors
- Subsonic filter eliminates low frequency rumble (less than 17 Hz) caused
by mechanical vibration
- Switchable 15 dB pad for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
- Three-position switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for handling
extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
- Three-position switchable low-frequency filter reduces background noise
and counteracts proximity effect
Performance Characteristics
- Extended frequency response
- Low self noise
- Exceptional reproduction of low-frequency sounds
- Can withstand high sound pressure levels (SPL)
- High output level
- No crossover distortion
- Uniform polar response
- Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency
