Shure KSM137/SL ST PAIR Studio Instrument Microphone Pair

The Shure KSM137/SL ST Pair is a pair of end-address condenser microphones 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

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

Low self-noise

Exceptional reproduction of low-frequency sounds

Superior common mode rejection and suppression of RFI (radio frequency interference)

Great for Close miking of acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, violins, drums, and percussion; Overhead miking of drums and percussion instruments; Electric guitar amplifiers; Brass and woodwind instruments; Room ambience pick-up (guitar amplifier or drums); Orchestras, choirs, wind ensembles; Low-frequency instruments such as double bass and kick drum

A137SPC Carrying Case, Two x A100WS Windscreens and Two x A57F Stand Mounts included with this pair of microphones
