A few years ago Shure made a grand entrance into the studio condenser microphone world with the KSM32. The cardioid only KSM32 quickly became a standard studio tool and was soon followed by the multi-patterned flagship, the KSM44. Now their little brother has arrived! I use the term little brother lightly, as this microphone rivals the rest of the family in both quality and character.
The KSM27 is a side-address, large diaphragm cardioid condenser mic with Class A, transformerless electronics.

The cosmetics of the 27 match the rest of the KSM line in shape, size and color, with the 27 being slightly smaller than both the 32 and 44.

All these features are packed under a good looking, compact mixing surface that measures only 18 inches deep and 22 inches wide.
Modeled after the O2R, the AW4416 has 44 audio channels each with 4-band parametric equalizers and its own dynamics. There are two built-in digital effects processors. The board houses a sixteen-track hard disk recorder and eight sample playback ...
