description Shure SM27 Overview
The Shure SM27 is a large diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone intended for studio recording and reinforced live performance. It can capture vocals and instruments while its cardioid pattern reduces sound arriving from behind the capsule. A switchable low frequency filter helps control rumble or proximity buildup, and an attenuation pad allows recording of louder sources, making the microphone adaptable to voices, acoustic instruments, amplifiers, and percussion.

What does cardioid mean on the Shure SM27?
Cardioid means the microphone is most sensitive to sound from the front and rejects more sound from behind the capsule. That pattern can help isolate a singer or instrument from nearby stage or room noise.
Can the SM27 record instruments as well as vocals?
Yes, the SM27 can capture both vocals and instruments. Its condenser design and large diaphragm make it suitable for detailed studio sources as well as reinforced live applications.
What is the low-frequency filter used for on the SM27?
The switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted bass buildup, handling noise, or excessive proximity effect. That makes it useful when a vocal or instrument sounds too boomy in a recording or live setup.
