From Our Catalog
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 in. diaphragm, extremely low self-noise, and an extended frequency response specially tailored for vocal tracking and instrument recording.
Features
Cardioid polar pattern - the most commonly used pattern for both studio and live applications
1 in., externally biased, ultra-thin, 24 Karat gold-layered, low mass, Mylar(TM) diaphragm provides superior transient response
Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response and no crossover distortion, while minimizing harmonic and intermodulation distortions
Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors
Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 Hz
Switchable 15 dB pad for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted background noise or counteract proximity effect
Integrated 3-stage "pop" protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise
Internal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise
Extended frequency response
Low self noise
Exceptional low-frequency reproduction
High output level
High input SPL capability
No crossover distortion
Extremely uniform polar response
Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interference
ShureLock Rubber Isolated Shock Mount
Protective Velveteen Pouch
Applications
Voice - solo, background, voice-over, broadcasting

Microphone use, however, is a matter of personal taste. The KSM27 may be used for a variety of applications other than those listed. Both the acoustic environment and microphone placement strongly affect the sound obtained from miking a source, especially with a high-resolution microphone like the KSM27. You may need to experiment with microphone placement and room treatments to achieve the best overall sound for each application.

Shure KSM27 Studio Cardioid Condenser Microphone Reviews
10 out of 10

"Awesome mic at a great price!"
Feature:
For the price, you couldn't ask for more. The locking shock mount makes it useable in any orientation. I didn't need the rolloff or pad switches, but they're nice to have.
Value:
If you're starting out setting up a studio and are on a budget, this baby performs with the best mics out there at half the price! You can't go wrong! Highly recommended.
Sound:
I looked at a variety of higher end mics including the $700 KSM44. I'm sure the higher priced ones are better, but I certainly couldn't tell the difference. This KSM27, is absolutely breathtaking! I used it to record male and female voices, acoustic guitar, acoustic contra bass, saxophone, clarinet, and both wood and plastic recorders. The reproduction is spot on! Its accurate across the entire frequency spectrum, picking up the deep growl of the contra, the biting edge of the saxophone, and the smooth sweetness of the clarinet with equal accuracy! And the vocals were rich and detailed!

"Well invested money"
Feature:
Well, the roll off and pad are very precise, you can even see in your spectrometer the diference with and amazing control (sorry for the spelling)
Quality:
Ok, i got some troubles with the shockmount, it seems the screw that holds can be a little chessy (sorry but its true) More that one time i had to stop the recording because the shockmount didnt hold the mic.
Value:
For the price and the sound you can get i think honestly is a bargain
Desirability:
If i lost it im sure i would buy another one
Sound:
This was my very first profesional mic in my carrer. I honestly say that Shure was never let me down, with a little perspective and good ear you can make recordings to be fluid and crispy, i love this mic for snare drums, of course voice, or just for a fun ambiental mic. A little EQ (sometimes) and a good preamp and... you got a winner. I feel this mic is like a little teacher, just talk to him and he will give you an answer. i give it a nine cause i think there are better mics, that`s all.
Ease of Use:
Use your ears, the ease of use is within yourself i think
Support:
I didnt had to use it so far, but im shure they are all gentleman.
Overall:
Very, very nice, you wont get any complains from your clients
