Product Specifications

KSM137 End-Address Cardioid Condenser Microphone


Overview
The KSM137 is a premium end-address cardioid condenser microphone engineered for highly critical studio recording and live sound productions. Its
class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier provides extremely natural response and transparent sound capture, and a three position switchable pad
allows for handling of extremely high sound pressure levels. 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 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.

Available Models
KSM137/SL Includes Stand Adapter, Windscreen and Carrying Case
KSM137/SL STEREO Includes two KSM137, two Stand Adapters, two Windscreens, A27M Stereo Microphone Adapter and Carrying Case
