Shure KSM137/SL - condenser microphone
Description
Shure KSM137 Small Condenser Microphone – Outstanding Recording Quality for Professionals The Shure KSM137 is an innovative condenser microphone that combines professional sound quality with exceptional durability. Designed specifically for studio recording sessions yet robust enough for live performances, this instrument becomes an indispensable tool for musicians and sound engineers. With a wide frequency range and precise directional response, the KSM137 is ideal for recording even the most demanding instruments. Product Features 2.5-micron diaphragm with 24-karat gold delivers excellent transient response and outstanding sound clarity. Class A, discrete transformer‑less amplifier guarantees no distortion and an instant response to signal changes. 3‑position pad switch (0/15/25 dB) allows operation at extremely high acoustic pressure levels (SPL). Low‑frequency filter below 17 Hz eliminates interference caused by mechanical vibrations, and 3‑position low‑frequency filter reduces background noise and compensates for proximity effect. Precision and High Sound Quality in Every Detail Shure KSM137 is a symbol of perfection in the world of studio microphones. Its unique design based on a diaphragm with 24‑karat gold guarantees extraordinary transmission fidelity, which is crucial when recording instruments with complex sound spectra. The Class A amplifier provides a transparent sound without additional distortion, which professional sound engineers will especially appreciate. Additionally, the ability to activate the low‑frequency filter allows elimination of unwanted vibrations, e.g., when recording in non‑professional rooms. The microphone excels at recording acoustic instruments where subtle dynamic changes are key – from the delicate hum of a guitar string to the explosive sound of percussion. Its resistance to high SPL makes it also ideal for live work, where reliability and precision are required. Thanks to a consistent cardioid polar pattern, the KSM137 provides optimal isolation from ambient sounds, which is invaluable when recording in a group or live. Applications Recording acoustic instruments (piano, guitar, violin) Drum kit and percussion instruments (including overheads) Wind instruments (brass and woodwind) Recording low‑frequency instruments (double bass, percussion) Recording choir or orchestral ensembles Detailed Technical Data Polar pattern: cardioid Diaphragm size: 2.5 µm Low‑frequency filter: below 17 Hz Pad options: 0 dB, 15 dB, 25 dB Low‑frequency filter: 3‑position switch Frequency range: 20 Hz – 20 kHz Impedance: 150 Ω Materials and Construction The Shure KSM137 boasts exceptional durability thanks to the use of gold‑plated internal and external connectors and a diaphragm made from high‑quality Mylar.
