Dynamic Instrument Microphone

Dynamic cardioid microphone for recording instruments and vocals. Its bright, clean sound and carefully contoured presence rise make it the ideal tool for live performances and studio recordings. The cardioid pickup pattern isolates the source and effectively reduces the recording of background noise. In the studio, the SM57 is ideal for recording drums, guitar, and woodwinds. The SM57 is not only the first choice for professional musicians, it has also been at the podium of the US President for over 30 years. Its outstanding performance, legendary reliability, and diversity of application make it the choice of performers, producers and engineers around the world.

THE classic workhorse!

01.08.2016

The SM57 by Shure is a classic live and studio workhorse microphone - no wonder pretty much every studio I've stepped in has had at least four or five of these!
It's a cardioid pattern mic with very strong off-axis rejection, a presence boost around 4 kHz, and a good-roll off in the lower frequencies which makes up for the proximity effect. Like its slightly younger brother the SM58, the 57 is almost indestructible, and almost every part is replaceable in case you do find a way to destroy something. If you find a Shure Unidyne, then this is an older model of essentially the same microphone.
The mic itself is very weighty and feels strong and robust, extremely well constructed. No lead but you get mic clip and carry pouch in the box!
This is a microphone which is suitable for all jobs. As mentioned in other reviews, it is widely used for drum kits and guitar amps etc., but as it was actually first designed for classical instruments, it can be used very effectively for acoustic instruments as well (tested on a harp and electro-acoustic guitars).
The sound of the SM57 up against an amplifier cabinet, such as a Marshall 4x12 or a Fender Bassman, is part of the classic sound of rock, and advanced modelling systems like the Roland VG-99 emulate a 57 up against a cabinet and at various distances, both on and off axis.
People often compare it to its brother the SM58 - but at least in my opinion the 57 has that bit more class when recording a multitude of sounds and I always prefer using it.

All in all, it's no wonder the SM57 is considered the industry standard workhorse microphone - can't go wrong with buying one (or two... or three ;) )! I've used 57s for longer than I care to admit, in various situations (both in the studio and live) and I've never been let down by one so I always highly recommend them!

Everyone should own one at least - and more if possible

White Ship Caused the Anarchy, 20.08.2018

This is the ultimate recording tool that can be used on nearly everything.

Whether micing up a guitar cab, acoustic instruments, or drums the SM57 is just a mic you've got to have in your arsenal.

A question often asked by guitarists is whether they should get an SM57 or a Sennheiser E609/E906. From my experience. For the price I would suggest buying two SM57s instead of the Sennheiser and micing up and recording two mic placements simultaneously. This is an extremely powerful method that gives you the power of blending tones, which is essential to getting a well-rounded guitar sound.

The difference between these mics is mainly how much they pick up. The SM57 is more precise and will home in on specific frequencies and does this extremely well. The Sennheiser gets a more overall sound and requires less precision when micing up the cab.

What is more is that the Shure simply beats the Sennheiser on versatility. This thing can really record nearly everything and is an industry standard.
