Shure KSM137/SL STEREO | Cardioid Instrument Microphone Pair

The Shure KSM137/SL STEreo Cardioid Instrument Microphone Pair stands out as a top-tier choice for both studio and live applications. Designed with precision and high-quality components, these microphones offer unparalleled performance in capturing the natural sound of your instruments. Whether you're recording in a controlled studio environment or performing live on stage, the KSM137 microphones are designed to handle a variety of sound pressure levels with minimal distortion. This ensures that every note, every subtlety, and the unique character of your instruments are captured accurately and clearly.

Equipped with ultra-thin, 2.5-micron, 24 karat gold-layered Mylar diaphragms, these microphones boast a superior transient response. The class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier ensures transparency and extremely fast transient response. With a highly consistent cardioid polar pattern, the Shure KSM137 minimizes off-axis noise, providing clean and focused audio capture. Built to endure, these microphones come with premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors, ensuring durability and longevity.

Aside from their robust build, the KSM137 microphones also feature excellent noise reduction capabilities. The subsonic filter effectively eliminates low-frequency rumble caused by mechanical vibration, while the 3-position switchable low-frequency filter reduces background noise and counters proximity effects. A switchable 15 dB pad enables the microphones to handle extremely high sound pressure levels, making these microphones versatile tools for various audio recording and live performance scenarios.
