Versatile, flat-response condenser microphone in both acoustic and high volume performance applications.The SM137 is a versatile, flat-response cardioid condenser probe microphone. The SM137 has an ultra-thin diaphragm for a frequency response that combines a smooth high-end with a tight, controlled low-end and a 15db pad for natural sound reproduction in both acoustic and high volume performance applications. The Shure SM137 Cardioid Condenser Microphone is a cost-effective small-diaphragm microphone that is well suited for instrument and vocal capturing in project recording and sound reinforcement situations. The SM137 features an ultra-thin diaphragm that yields a smooth high-end frequency response with a tight, controlled low-end. A -15dB Pad switch minimizes distortion caused by transient (peaking) audio signals. The microphone's cardioid polar pattern effectively eliminates noise and feedback at the off-axis sections of the capsule. Whether miking amplifier cabinets, drums, percussion or vocals, the SM137 is sure to be a modestly priced solution for the studio or the road. Tight high-end and controlled low frequency response Cardioid polar pattern minimizes noise and feedback -15dB Pad switch maximizes headroom and reduces distortion,The SM137 is a versatile, flat-response cardioid condenser probe microphone.
