Shure KSM27/SL Large Single-Diaphragm Microphone

The Shure KSM27 is a side-address condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. Designed for studio use, but rugged enough for live applications, the KSM27 has an externally biased, 1-inch diaphragm, extremely low self-noise, and an extended frequency response specially tailored for vocal tracking and instrument recording.

REVIEW:

Excellent tonal balance combining low-end weight and high-end detail. - Sound On Sound Magazine
"the performance of the KSM27 is closer to that of a high-end model than its price might lead you to believe and the standard of engineering is excellent. The combination of warmth and transparency makes the KSM27 useful for situations in which you have to deal with different vocalists and instruments on each session, while the extended bass end means you can use it to record almost anything. If you were stranded on a desert island with nothing but a recording studio and a very long mains lead, this would be a good mic to have with you!"
