The Shure SM57 unidirectional dynamic microphone
is exceptional for musical instrument pickup or for vocals. With its bright,
clean sound and carefully contoured presence rise, 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. For
musical instruments or vocals, the SM57 is a consistent choice of professional
performers. It is also the standard microphone used on the podium of the U.S.
President for over 30 years. Its outstanding performance, legendary reliability,
and diversity of application make this "workhorse" the choice of performers,
producers, and sound engineers the world over.
