One of the most popular professional instrument or vocal mics of all time. The SM57 has probably recorded 90 percent of all snare drums and guitar amps in existence, as well as appearing in front of the US president at press conferences for 30 years.
The Shure SM57 dynamic mic is a reliable, natural-sounding performer, night after night. Durable, bulletproof design stands up to road travel and abuse. Perfectly at home in the studio, too. The Shure SM57s wide 40 Hz - 15kHz frequency response and tight cardioid polar pickup pattern are ideal for close-in miking of amps, speakers, and other instruments. And the Shure SM57s frequency response, originally tailored for speaking, matches the mid-range voice qualities of the guitar.
The Shure SM57 uses the same capsule as the SM58, but with a different grille design which allows the capsule to be positioned closer to the instrument for more proximity effect, which boosts low frequencies when the mic is placed close to a sound source.
