Shure PGA27 Condenser Microphone

Polar Pattern: Cardioid (picks up clear sound from the front while rejecting unwanted background noise from the sides and rear). Frequency Response: 20 to 20,000 Hz, providing a wide dynamic range with crisp high frequencies and strong lows. Power Requirements: Requires 48V phantom power via a standard 3-pin XLR cable to function. It cannot operate if plugged directly into a computer jack without an audio interface or mixer providing this voltage. Onboard Controls: Features a switchable -15 dB attenuator pad to handle high sound pressure levels (SPL) without clipping, and a high-pass filter switch to cut down rumble or muddy low-end frequencies.
