Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The Shure® SM27 is a rugged and versatile large-diaphragm, side-address
cardioid microphone. Low self-noise and extended frequency response picks
up vocal and instrument nuances with clarity. Durable Shure construction
features three separate mesh layers that reduce wind and breath noise.
Equally comfortable on the stage or in the studio.
Features
• Cardioid polar pattern—the most commonly used pattern for both studio
and live applications
• 1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5 μm, 24 Karat gold-layered, low
mass, Mylar diaphragm provides superior transient response
®
• Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely
fast transient response and no crossover distortion, while minimizing
harmonic and intermodulation distortions
• Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external
connectors
• Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 Hz
• Switchable 15 dB pad for handling extremely high sound pressure levels
(SPLs)
• 3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted
background noise or counteract proximity effect
• Integrated three-stage "pop" protection grille reduces plosives and other
breath noise
• Internal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise
Variations
SM27-LC: Includes a padded carrying bag and low-profile stand mount.
SM27-SC: Includes a rubber-suspension shock mount and velveteen pouch.

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,
• For stereo applications, use the optional Shure A27M Stereo
Positioning the Microphone
The front of the microphone is marked by the
side toward the sound source.
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.
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.
115 Hz. Use this to compensate for proximity effect or to reduce low
frequencies that could make an instrument sound dull or muddy.

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.
