KSM137 

Instrument Microphone

General Description

TheKSM137isapremium,end-address,condensermicrophonewithacardioidpolarpatternengineeredforhighlycriticalstu-

dio 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lev-

els (SPL) and controlled bass response. Versatile, durable, and precise, the KSM137 is an outstanding microphone for both

live and studio applications.

Features

A highly consistent cardioid polar pattern

Ultra-thin,2.5μm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 inter-modulation 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 attenuation switch (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for handling extremely high SPLs

Three-position low-frequency filter switch reduces stand vibration noise and counteracts proximity effect

Performance Characteristics

Extremely uniform polar response

Extended frequency response

Minimal self-noise

Exceptional low-frequency reproduction

Able to withstand high SPLs

High output level

No crossover distortion

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

Model Variations

This microphone can be purchased as a stereo pair (KSM137/SL STEREO). In addition to the standard accessories, the stereo

pair includes a stereo stand adapter (A27M) for mounting two microphones on one stand.

Applications

Brass and woodwind instruments

Orchestras, choirs, and wind ensembles

Overhead miking of drums and percussion instruments

Close-miking of acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, violins, drums, and percussion

Low-frequency instruments such as double bass and kick drum

Electric guitar and bass amplifiers

Vocals and speech

Room ambience

Note: Sound quality is strongly affected by microphone location and room acoustics. To achieve the best overall sound for a particular application, it may

be necessary to experiment with microphone placement and room treatments.

Power Requirements

This microphone requires phantom power and performs best with a 48 Vdc supply (IEC-61938). However, it will operate with

slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity with supplies as low as 11 Vdc.

Most modern mixers provide phantom power. You must use a balanced microphone cable: XLR-to-XLR.

Mounting the Microphone

Use the supplied microphone mount with floor or boom stands. Visit www.shure.com for more mounting options:

To reduce the pickup of unwanted low-frequency mechanical vibrations, use an isolating shock mount.

For stereo applications, use the optional Shure A27M Stereo Microphone Adapter.

Selecting Low-Frequency Response

A three-position switch on the back of the microphone lets you adjust the low-frequency response. Use the low-frequency filter

to reduce wind noise, room noise, or proximity effect.

Flat response. Provides the most natural sound in most applications.

Low frequency cutoff. Provides an 18 dB-per-octave cutoff at 80 Hz. Helps eliminate floor rumble and low-frequency room

noise from heating and air conditioning systems. This setting may also be used to compensate for proximity effect or to reduce

low frequencies that make an instrument sound dull or muddy.

Low frequency rolloff.Providesa6dB-per-octaverollofffilterat115Hz.Usethistocompensateforproximityeffectortore-

duce low frequencies that could make an instrument sound dull or muddy.

Shure Incorporated

5/10

Setting Attenuation

The attenuation switch lets you reduce the signal level without altering the frequency response. This can prevent extremely

loud sounds from overloading the microphone circuitry.

0 dB For "quiet" to "normal" sound levels.

−15 dB For use with extremely loud sound sources such as drums, horns, or loud guitar cabinets.

−25 dB For use with in close proximity (less than 10 cm) to extremely loud sound sources such as drums, horns, or loud guitar

cabinets.

Load Impedance

Maximum SPL capability, output clipping level, and dynamic range vary with the input load impedance of the preamplifier to

whichyouconnectthemicrophone.Shurerecommendsaminimuminputloadimpedanceof1000Ω.Mostmodernmicrophone

preamplifiers meet this requirement. Higher impedance results in better performance for these specifications.

Stereo Pair Stand Adapter

Stereomicrophonetechniquesgivedepthandspatialplacementtosoundsourcesforbroadcasting,recording,orsoundrein-

forcement applications. The Shure A27M allows you to mount two microphones on a single stand with a wide range of angles

and vertical separations for a variety of coincident and closely-spaced stereo configurations.

Shure Incorporated

Installation

Adjust the vertical separation as shown.

Mount on a stand and attach microphones using 5/8"-27 thread stand adapters.

Adjust the microphone angle using the knurled knob. Use the 45 degree reference marks at the top of the knob to set

the desired angle.

Stereo Techniques

The following table displays the most common stereo techniques. Keep in mind that microphone technique is largely a matter

ofpersonaltaste;thereisnoone“correct”microphoneposition.Formoreinformation,search“StereoTechniques”at
