    Product Research

    Features

    Overview: The Shure SM137 is a versatile condenser probe microphone, with a flat frequency response, that makes it ideal for both acoustic and amplified instruments. It features an ultra-thin diaphragm that combines a smooth high-end with tight, controlled low-end. Also included, is a switchable 15 dB pad for miking high SPL sources, as well as a discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response, and minimal harmonic distortion.

    Polar Pattern: The SM137 has a cardioid polar pattern, which has maximum sound pickup directly in front of it, slightly less pickup from the sides, and no pickup from the rear of the mic.

    Attenuation Pad: Miking loud sound sources or placing a mic extremely close to an instrument can subject the diaphragm to very high sound pressure levels which may cause audible distortion. To help remedy this, the SM137 has a switchable 15 dB pad. When 0 dB is selected, the maximum SPL is 144 dB, while the -15 dB setting allows a maximum SPL of 159 dB.

    Connection: Gold-plated, balanced, 3-pin male XLR connector.

    Phantom Power: Since the SM137 is a condenser microphone, it requires +48 VDC of phantom power.
