Shure SM microphones have proven their worth through decades of rigorous use and abuse on stage and in the studio. Now Shure is expanding the line to give performers and engineers more tools to choose from with the introduction of the SM27 and SM137.
The SM27 is a rugged and versatile large-diaphragm, side-address cardioid condenser microphone designed to pick up the nuances of vocals and instruments with clarity. This microphone has a one-inch ultra-thin Mylar diaphragm for superior transient response, exceptional low frequency reproduction, and a low self-noise (just 9.5 dB SPL) to reveal fine detail when recording or during live performance. The SM27 offers lower self-noise and improved dynamic range specifications over the KSM27 model that it replaces. The SM137 is a cardioid probe microphone for instrument recording applications. The SM137 employs an ultra-thin diaphragm for smooth high end and tight, controlled low end. Its 15 dB attenuator enables it to handle sound pressure levels as high as 154 dB SPL, for consistent reproduction of delicate acoustic as well as high-volume amplified instruments. The SM137 replaces the KSM109 model. “Shure SM wired microphones have been the standard by which microphone performance has been judged for more than 40 years,” said Terri Hartman, Shure’s Director of Global Brand Communications. “The SM27 and SM137 provide new SM microphone options for live performance and recording, and build on the heritage of SM microphones as critical tools for audio professionals.” For convenient digital recording directly to a computer, Shure now offers the classic SM57 and SM58 microphones packaged with the new X2U XLR-USB Signal Adapter. The X2U features a built-in headphone jack with zero-latency monitoring for real-time playback and multi-tracking without disorientation. A Monitor Mix Control makes it easy to balance microphone and playback audio. “The new bundles of the SM57 and SM58 with the new X2U Signal Adapter make either of these legendary workhorse mics a versatile solution for podcasting and other digital recording projects,” added Hartman. “Whether an artist wants to record in a bedroom or basement, or even on a tour bus, the X2U lets them connect a Shure microphone to a computer wherever they are.” All popular Shure SM models will receive new packaging for a more uniform presentation and more effective communication of key product features. The new package consists of a separate box and color sleeve. The SM27 and SM137 microphones will be available in March 2009 and will carry a two-year limited warranty.

Shure highlighted the new Microflex microphones, elegantly styled suited for boardroom, conferencing, and corporate applications.
Models MX405 and MX410 are five and ten-inch goosenecks, respectively, offered in both wired and wireless configurations. Available finished in white, black, and aluminum, the low-profile MX395 boundary mic is unparalleled for use in installations where aesthetics are a top priority. Omni, cardioid, and bi-directional polar patterns are offered on the mic. Sold as either a two or three-element desktop conference microphone, the MX396 comes with a centrally-mounted, remote-controlled, bi-color status indicator and integrated mute switch in either configuration. Complementing the new offerings are models MX690 (a wireless desktop boundary microphone) and MX890, a wireless desktop base unit.

Shure introduces Wired KSM9 Condenser Microphone. Drawing upon the technological developments advanced within Shure's KSM line of microphones, the new hardwired KSM9 condenser mic brings all of the demanding detail and nuances required of studio vocal reproduction to live performance applications.
First offered in a wireless configuration earlier this year, the hardwired KSM9 employs a dual-diaphragm design, advanced two-stage shock mount, and an industry first for a handheld mic: Switchable cardioid or supercardioid patterns. Selectable via a convenient two-position switch, the KSM9's twin choice of polar patterns brings a wider range of use to constantly changing audio environments, while the microphone's dual-diaphragm design provides higher gain before feedback, exceptional consistency across all frequencies, and minimized proximity effect insuring accurate low-end response. Providing an audible reduction of handling noise, the mic's two-stage shock mount is a proprietary design built to stabilize both horizontal and vertical movement. With a frequency response extending from 50 to 20,000 Hz, the KSM9 has a sensitivity of -51 dBV/Pa, and a maximum SPL rated at 153 dB (@1000 Hz/2500 ohms). Playing a prominent role in creating the microphone's smooth, pronounced high-end and natural sounding upper midrange, the KSM9's dual diaphragms are made from low-mass, 3/4-inch, gold-layered Mylar®. Just as vital to the mic's design is its discrete Class A, transformerless preamplifier circuitry, which provides fast, transparent transient response lacking any crossover distortion or intermodulation distortion.
