Product Description

For superior rejection off axis, the cardioid pattern is uniform
A large Mylar diaphragm with low mass has a superior transient response
On stage or in the studio, a flat, neutral response is the best way to achieve a natural reproduction
The switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted background noise or counter proximity effects for a consistent, long-range sound
Steel construction for durability.

Questions & Answers

It's good for metal vocals, isn't it? What is deathmetal?

There's no reason why metal or any other kind of music shouldn't be recorded with this microphone. It's for voices and is especially good for that.

The device is a USB one or an XLR one?

Greetings from 8thstreet Music, and you will need Phantom Power and XLR cables

Is this a clamp I can use to pick up my cymbals with my drum set?

I think it went extremely

What type of USB does it use?

It does not have a USB port. There is no proprietary connector it's a standard XLR

Selected User Reviews For Shure SM27-SC Professional Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

It is one of the most respected and oldest names in the world of microphones, and it is of very high quality at a very reasonable price
5/5

There are many things that are good about this SM27, but it is not as good as. It seems like it's all the rage today to own an SM7B. Due to the SM7B's dynamic mic design, it is much quieter, so it should be suitable in a noisy environment There is a high degree of difficulty to it, however Ideally, you would use a gain preamp (I have a couple of FetHeads I use for that). SM27 uses phantom power to power its built-in preamp. Because it is a condenser mic, phantom power is a requirement. However, it provides a very powerful signal to my Zoom LiveTrak L-sub There is quite a depth to the sound, and it does sound My main purpose in getting it was to use it for video calls (e. g. You can zoom in and out using There have been a number of other microphones I have tried, but the sound quality has never been satisfactory. Therefore, I wanted an instrument with a wide diaphragm (for better sensitivity) and a cardioid pickup pattern (for off-axis performances The two-axis noise rejection) and a side pickup are also present. In conjunction with this stand, I have a Gator FrameWorks stand (made for drums) that fits on my desk perfectly. With a 10# base and a 2# counter, this game has a lot of power. It is balanced to hold the SM27 in place without moving it or causing it to slide off the desk because it can be bumped. With my setup, I can mount the mic near an arm's length away (18"), 45 degrees to the right so it's off to the side of my face. I looked directly into the lens of the camera, which was pointing at my mouth. There is a speaker with the rear of the mic facing one of my computer speakers that is closer to my face than the other speaker which is 90 degrees away. When I'm online, I keep the fader on the mic channel at zero (I don't want to hear myself), so I get no feedback from my computer. Even when I do turn the fader on the mic channel, I don't get any feedback right away. Noise rejection on the axis. (When you pushed the fader up, even a little bit, an omni mic would give you instant feedback. )

Aside from that, I don't understand why people think they have to have a big fat mic with a pop filter in front of them when they are It's only in video shots of people in radio stations who aren't normally in the studio that you see that sort of thing - Since they're pointing the camera at the mic, they're eating it. It isn't necessary to use a pop filter if you are more than a few inches away from the mic, especially if it is to the side and far It might just be that people like using a large mic and pop filter so they can hide behind them. This makes me wonder why they would bother to even try and sign up- If you're inclined to "talk with your hands," keeping the mic 18 inches from your head makes it far less likely you will bang it. It is incredible how many people I see on videos who bang their hands into their mics. What can they possibly be doing there in front of their faces? It's a shame. Even though I'm about 18 inches away, everyone says that I sound natural and that my voice is clear. People report no change in volume unless I move closer to it. It seems even if I tilt my head to face the mic, and even move closer to it, I won't have much effect on its volume. Therefore, I find this to be a positive.
If you are looking at a SM7B, the SM27 is 25% cheaper and I believe equally When you have a quieter, higher-quality mixer, there will be no need for a separate preamp. An increase in gain preamplifiers Your voice would sound as good as mine In addition, you will be able to mount it securely off-the-shelf It is best to use a directional mic so you won't pick up any room noise or feedback that an omnidirectional mic picks up.

This mic is a great choice for your home recording studio
5/5

This mic used to be the big brother of the KSM44 I had previously owned. In spite of the KSM44's more universal capabilities, the SM27 nonetheless sounds as good as it does. You can use it to track vocals, to record acoustic guitars and guitar amps, in particular to record clean type of electric guitar sounds, although you can also record dirty distorted guitars with it. This mic runs through the Grace M101 microphone preamplifier and I'm very pleased with the results. As I said, the SM27 is perfect for bedrooms because it is not so sensitive. The issue I had with the KSM44 was that it picks up every little sound near you and so I became incredibly frustrated. I'm not saying that you shouldn't get a $1000 KSM44, or, better yet, a $6000 Neumann condenser mic if you're not in a pro recording environment with soundproofed, acoustically treated rooms. This model will be suitable for the needs of a home studio.

I have made the best upgrade of my life
5/5

I'm here with my son. My original USB mic was cheap, and I purchased this microphone to upgrade it to a better one. The voice in my head is smooth and not crunchy, and I am conscious of vocal noises from my mouth. I was always crunching on seaweed snacks in front of my friends. It is very important to me that Shure always produces great microphones, and this one is a fantastic condenser mic. It's a great microphone for those who stream while also filling in on music covers. I use it both for live entertainment and recording while also living in a neighborhood where there is a lot of background noise, so its condenser nature helps block out background noise. I recommend this microphone over all others if you are using a cheap microphone and are looking to make a serious improvement in your sound. Anyone can set it up and use it just fine, even a brute at my level.

This is a fantastic deal on a very good microphone
5/5

A solid, all-purpose Mic, the Shure SM27 is a solid, all-purpose Mic. It is my belief that the SM 27 will gain a reputation over time for being a high quality fighter An excellent condenser microphone that works reliably and is of high quality. The plan here isn't the same as yours It consists of Designed for studio use, this condenser mic comes with a large diaphragm for cheap. The SM 27 has proved to be a superior microphone to some of the more expensive ones in my studio for broadcast, voice recording and narration. When it comes to a microphone, this is the one I turn to when I must do it right. I have over a dozen microphones. There's no denying that the price for this microphone is a good deal. A mic that performs higher than this at this price is impossible to find.

Vocal work is excellent with this program
5/5

As a voice professional, I have been using SM27 for a while now. Since my voice is a bit deep and grainy, while the mic captures all the details, I am able to use the rolloff switch to remove most of I was impressed by the quality of the recordings It is easy to pick up even the finest details in speech. A Heil PL-500 is what I am using with it Together with the included shockmount for the SM27, the 2T boom pole and shockmount set up provides an extremely I am highly impressed with the sound and build quality of this microphone. This is a highly recommended book.
