Shure KSM137 Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
Experience the clarity and precision in sound that the Shure KSM137 Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone brings to your instrument recordings. Its superior transient response and excellent sound isolation make it ideal for capturing every performance detail.
Precision Engineering for Superior Sound
Firstly, the ultra-thin 2.5 micron, 24 karat gold-layered Mylar diaphragm delivers outstanding transient response essential for accurately capturing fast attack sounds in acoustic and wind instruments. The cardioid polar pattern ensures focused sound capture with minimal background noise, making your recordings crisp and clear.
Robust Performance in Any Setting
Built with a Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier, this microphone offers transparent sound with no crossover distortion. It handles extreme sound pressure levels effortlessly thanks to its switchable 15 dB pad, while the subsonic filter eliminates unwanted low-frequency rumble caused by vibrations.
Versatility for Various Instrument Applications
Perfect for acoustic and wind instruments, low frequency sources like bass and kick drums, and overhead miking, the Shure KSM137 adapts easily with its 3-position low-frequency filter to reduce background noise and control proximity effect. Its premium components, including gold-plated connectors, ensure durability and reliable performance.
