Shure SM57 Dynamic Cardioid Instrument Microphone
Details
At A Glance
The Shure SM57 is a cardioid dynamic microphone built for instrument pickup and vocal reinforcement, and it's been an industry standard since 1965. It uses a moving-coil capsule with a contoured frequency response tailored to snare drums, guitar cabinets, and brass, giving it a presence rise in the upper mids without excessive coloration elsewhere. The cardioid pattern rejects off-axis sound, which keeps bleed to a minimum on multi-mic stages and in close-mic drum setups. A die-cast steel body with a pneumatic shock-mount system lets it withstand heavy handling and touring use. No phantom power is required, and setup is a straightforward XLR connection to any standard mic input.
