General Description
The KSM137 is a premium, end-address, condenser microphone with a cardioid polar
pattern engineered for highly critical studio recording and live sound productions. Its class
A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier provides extremely transparent sound capture, and
a three position switchable pad and low-cut filter allows for handling of extremely high
sound pressure levels (SPL) and controlled bass response. Versatile, durable, and precise, the
KSM137 is an outstanding microphone for both live and studio applications.
