The main applications of this microphone are close microfoning of acoustic and electric instruments, use it as an overhead drums, sound for woodwind and brass, sound for vocal groups and choirs, and even work with bass instruments such as double bass and bass drum. The KSM137 will be equally successful in a recording studio as well as during live performances.
The KSM137 microphone can operate at extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). It is characterized by a high level of the output signal, low self-noise and excellent reproduction of sounds from the lower frequency range.
Properties:
Extremely consistent cardioid polar pattern
Incredibly thin 2.5 microns 24K gold coated ultra-light Mylar® diaphragm for excellent transient response
The preamplifier based on discrete Class A components and without the use of transformers guarantees exceptional sound transparency, extremely fast transient response, no cross-distortion and minimal harmonic distortion
Top-quality electronic components, including gold-plated contacts for internal and external connectors
Subsonic filter to eliminate low-frequency rumble (below 17 Hz) caused by mechanical vibrations
Three-position switchable attenuator (0 dB, 15 dB and 25 dB) for operation with extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL)
3-position switchable low-frequency filter to reduce background noise and correct proximity effect
