Shure KSM137 Studio Instrument Microphone description:

The Shure KSM137 is an end-address condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. Designed for studio use, yet rugged enough for live applications, the KSM137 can withstand extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). Its low self-noise and extended frequency response make it ideal for recording musical instruments.

Features

A highly consistent cardioid polar pattern
Ultra-thin, 2.5 micron, 24 karat gold-layered, low mass Mylar diaphragm for superior transient response
Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response, no crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortion
Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors
Subsonic filter eliminates low frequency rumble (less than 17 Hz) caused by mechanical vibration
Three-position switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
Three-position switchable low-frequency filter reduces background noise and counteracts proximity effect
Low self-noise
Exceptional reproduction of low-frequency sounds
Superior common mode rejection and suppression of RFI (radio frequency interference)
Great for Close miking of acoustic instruments such as piano, guitar, violins, drums, and percussion; Overhead miking of drums and percussion instruments; Electric guitar amplifiers; Brass and woodwind instruments; Room ambience pick-up (guitar amplifier or drums); Orchestras, choirs, wind ensembles; Low-frequency instruments such as double bass and kick drum
A137C Carrying Case, A100WS Windscreen and A57F Stand Mount included with this microphone
