| Description
The legendary Shure SM57 microphone is exceptional for musical
instrument pickup and vocals. With its bright, clean sound and contoured
frequency response, the SM57 is ideal for live sound reinforcement and
recording. It has an extremely effective cardioid pickup pattern which
isolates the main sound source while minimizing background noise. In the
studio, it is excellent for recording drums, guitar, and woodwinds.
The SM57’s outstanding performance, legendary reliability, and diversity
of application make this "workhorse" the choice of performers,
producers, and sound engineers worldwide.
