Description
The Shure SM137-LC is a versatile small diaphragm condenser microphone built for engineers, musicians and venues that need precise, reliable audio performance. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on the intended source while helping reduce unwanted background noise and bleed from surrounding instruments, making it an excellent choice for both stage reinforcement and studio recording.
Featuring an ultra-thin diaphragm, the SM137 delivers fast transient response with clear detail, a smooth high-frequency character and tight, controlled low-end reproduction. This makes it particularly effective on acoustic guitar, piano, strings, percussion, drum overheads, brass and woodwind, while also being capable of handling vocals and amplifier cabinets when a clean, articulate sound is required.
A built-in 15dB pad increases headroom for louder sound sources, helping maintain clarity when close-miking drums, loud percussion or amplified instruments. The microphone also features low self-noise and transformerless Class-A preamp circuitry for transparent signal capture and dependable professional results. Requiring standard 48V phantom power, the SM137 connects via XLR and is supplied ready for use with essential accessories.
