Shure SM 57 Dynamic Instrument Microphone
Shure SM 57 Dynamic Instrument Microphone
General
The legendary Shure SM57 is a versatile, high-grade microphone that can be used to record amplified instruments, but also clearly reproduces drums and percussion. Its cardioid pickup pattern reduces background noise, as it mostly captures the sound in front of it, while sound coming from the back and sides is largely ignored. Its 40Hz – 15kHz frequency range was optimised for instruments such as harmonica, saxophone, brass, percussion and amplified (bass) guitar.
Like all Shure products, the SM 57 combines outstanding quality, reliability and ease of use. Add to that an impressive list of specifications, and you know you have a fantastic microphone for audio engineers and producers on your hands
