SHURE SM57 UNIDYNE III DYNAMIC MICROPHONE

Has been among the best sounding microphones, with unmatchable sound, and has been the standard microphone used on the podium of the president of the United States of America for the past 3 decades.

Information and Description:

The SM57 has probably recorded 90% of all snare drums and guitar amps in existence! It could be rightly called the “Swiss Army Knife” of modern music. The SM57 is the sound you hear on the radio – it’s been used for decades to mic everything from snare drums to guitar amps to vocals, and just about everything else. It’s in almost every studio – and on thousands of stages – all over the world! 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. Its outstanding performance, legendary reliability, and diversity of application make this “workhorse” the choice of performers, producers, and sound engineers the world over. Made for rugged road travel and abuse. Wide frequency band and tight polar pattern especially suitable for close-in miking of instrument amps and speakers at home or studio. Hand held or stand mounted mic.
