The SM27 is a versatile large-diaphragm, side-address cardioid condenser microphone designed to pick up the nuances of vocals and instruments with clarity. This microphone has a one-inch ultra-thin Mylar diaphragm for superior transient response, exceptional low frequency reproduction, and a low self-noise (just 9.5 dB SPL) to reveal fine detail when recording or during live performance. The SM27 offers lower self-noise and improved dynamic range specifications over the KSM27 model that it replaces.
The SM137 is a cardioid probe microphone for instrument recording applications. The SM137 employs an ultra-thin diaphragm for smooth high end and tight, controlled low end. Its 15dB attenuator enables it to handle sound pressure levels as high as 154dB SPL, for consistent reproduction of delicate acoustic as well as high-volume amplified instruments. The SM137 replaces the KSM109 model.
"Shure SM wired microphones have been the standard by which microphone performance has been judged for more than 40 years," said Terri Hartman, Shure's director of global brand communications. "The SM27 and SM137 provide new SM microphone options for live performance and recording, and build on the heritage of SM microphones as critical tools for audio professionals."
