Description

The KSM137 is a premium, end-address, condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern engineered for highly critical studio recording and live sound productions. Its class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier provides extremely transparent sound capture, and a three position switchable pad and low-cut filter allows for handling of extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL) and controlled bass response. Versatile, durable, and precise, the KSM137 is an outstanding microphone for both live and studio applications.

Features

Highly consistent cardioid polar pattern
Ultra-thin, 2.5 micron, 24 karat gold-layered, low mass Mylar¬Æ 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)
3-position switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
3-position switchable low-frequency filter reduces background noise and counteracts proximity effect
