Shure PG27-USB
Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The PG27-USB is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone with an onboard 16-bit, 48 kHz ADC and USB audio output. It is the USB version of Shure’s PG27, and shares most of its components and circuitry with that microphone.
The 35mm capsule has a diaphragm diameter of 27mm.
The mic has a switchable -20dB pad and three rotary controls:
- Mic gain
- headphone volume
- monitor mix
An onboard 1/8-inch audio jack allows “zero-latency” monitoring of live audio. Its output volume, and its mix relative to a prerecorded track can be adjusted via two thumbwheels indicated above.
A three-color LED (located near the gain control, on the side of the microphone) can be used to monitor the signal level:
- Off: -30dB FS
- Green: -30dB–-12dB FS
- Yellow: -12–0dB FS
- Red: above 0dB FS (clipping)
A second LED, immediately below the Shure logo, lights up green to indicate the presence of appropriate USB bus power.
The PG27USB includes a 3m USB cable, a metal “ring mount” mic clip, and a zippered storage pouch.
The mic is compatible with the “ShureLock” A27SM elastic shockmount and A32WS windscreen (available separately).
The PG27USB is manufactured in China to Shure’s design specifications.
