use, however, is a matter of personal taste. The KSM27 may be used for
a variety of applications other than those listed. Both the acoustic
environment and microphone placement strongly affect the sound obtained
from miking a source, especially with a high-resolution microphone like
the KSM27. You may need to experiment with microphone placement and
room treatments to achieve the best overall sound for each application.
