Rugged Shure quality for studio or stage!

Shure's SM27 brings the rugged reliability of the SM series to the world of large-diaphragm condensers. This side-address cardioid condenser is delicate enough to effectively capture vocals, but rugged enough to easily handle more raucous sources, such as bass and guitar cabinets. Tailor the SM27's frequency response to the sound source with the built-in 15dB pad and 3-position low-frequency filter. The large Mylar diaphragm reacts quickly to transients and three separate mesh layers reduce wind and breath noise, making the SM27 a great fit onstage or in the studio.



Shure SM27 at a Glance:
  • Continuation of a legacy
  • Multi-purpose

Continuation of a legacy
There are few mics that are as widely used and trusted as those in the Shure SM Series. Their rugged reliability and stellar performance have made them staples of both the studio world and the live stage. Shure's latest addition to the SM Series is the SM27, a large-diaphragm condenser mic that takes its cues from the hugely successful KSM27.

Multi-purpose
With a frequency response that's perfectly tailored for vocal applications - essentially flat until the crucial "airy" frequencies, where the SM27 exhibits a bump that really lets vocals shine. High SPL handling and accuracy allows the SM27 to expand its reach into other sonic arenas, such as guitar cabinets or drum overheads.

Shure SM27 Features:
  • Cardioid
  • Large-diaphragm condenser
  • Side address
  • 20Hz-20kHz
  • Max SPL: 152dB
  • Bass roll-off: 80Hz, 115Hz
  • Pad: 15dB
  • Superior off axis rejection
  • Superior transient response from a low-mass large Mylar diaphragm
  • Flat, neutral frequency response
  • 3-position switchable low-frequency filter
  • Durable metal construction.
  • Three separate mesh layers reduces wind and breath noise

Shure's SM27 is a great mic for live or studio work!

Music Background: 25 years of recording musician, 6 years self-recording musican, 2 year professional podcaster
This microphone is amazing. It is small and rugged and completely portable and the response is amazing. It requires very little extra body even including EQ or compression for the voice work that I ... read more [+]use it for on The Less Desirables podcast. Almost makes my SM7B sound wimpy. I love this mic. I have 3 on the podcast, one for my co-host one for my color commentator and one for any guest we have (I use the SM7B). I have to do the most post-production on the SM7B and almost nothing with the 27s. close [-]

This stuff is great at an affordable price tag n a bit more in high frequency than lower end but a KSM 32 would be more of a proffesional touch.

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
