Shure KSM 27 pair - SOLD

[inasilentway]

Selling a pair of Shure KSM27 large-diaphragm condensers. Includes 2x shock mounts and mic pouches.

They have a deep extended low end (all the way to 20 hz) and smooth presence which makes them pair well with a 57 on guitar cab or with a DI for bass cab. I've primarily been using them as drum overheads, where they pick up a nice amount of toms, making them useful for four-mic drum setups. Haven't used it on kick out or toms close-mic, but since it's got a bump from 50-70 hz I bet it would be nice and beefy. I've cut a lot of vocals on it too but pop filter is mandatory to keep out plosives.

In my opinion they are a sleeper bang-for-the-buck mic at the price they sell for used, and mine have been real workhorses. They've been on tour with a couple of well-known bands and always travelled securely.

The elastics on these suck, and I just snapped another one. So I replaced the elastics on them with the ultra-sturdy ones from Shure's KSM32 shock mount. These provide better shock mounting, but are not a perfect fit, so I have had to use some black gaff to discreetly hold in place. Here's what I mean:



This is actually a far superior solution to the original stiff elastics which constantly broke and ended up being replaced by rubber bands.
