Mic Reviews
Shure KSM-137
The Shure KSM137 appears to be a small diaphragm "pencil" mic. In actuality, it is an end-address medium diaphragm condenser mic. This mic has the same gold layered, 2.5 micron Mylar diaphragm that is in the KSM32.
The electronics are Class A, discrete, transformerless. Shure states that the "circuitry yields transparency, extremely fast transient response, no crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortion."
A subsonic filter eliminates low frequency rumble (less than 17 Hz). In addition to that, there is a three-position switchable low-frequency filter, and a switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB).
Shure's recommended uses for the KSM137 include, but are not limited to: Acoustic instruments (piano, guitar, drums, percussion, strings), wind instruments (brass and woodwind), low frequency instruments (double bass, electric bass, kick drum), overhead miking (drums or percussion), ensembles (choral or orchestral), room ambiance pick-up (guitar amplifier or drums).
