The Shure SM57 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone is the undisputed workhorse microphone for studio, stage, podiums... and pretty much anywhere you can envision a microphone being used, the SM57 will do the job. The Shure SM57 Dynamic Microphone is a cardioid dynamic instrument microphone designed to offer clean reproduction of amplified and acoustic instruments. It features a contoured frequency response for rich vocal pickup, background noise reduction, and a pneumatic shock mount system. A snare crack. An arpeggiated chord. A powerful saxophone solo. Whether on stage or in the studio, the notes that flow from your instrument connects your audience on a visceral level. And such sounds need a mic that can handle its strength. For every acoustic condition, the Shure SM57 delivers the power of your playing to every fan in the house.
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 Shure SM57 is ideal for live sound reinforcement and recording.
