Dynamic Microphone
OVERALL OPINION
I met him many times on stage and in studio music.
But over the past few years had specialized in sound for picture.
At the time I do not know much about the sound so I did not get a chance to compare. I got advice from the pros. This was my first microphone.
It is a very good value for money. In addition it is very robust.
I remake this choice obviously.10- Rj_4000

Solid, yes. As the SM58, he made his legend on the rock scene worldwide. So better be strong

I restored a fleet of pickups for 1 year and yes, I added an SM57 and SM58.
I use the SM57 especially on some guitar amps. While I generally prefer the E906 ... Not the same sound. Further, let's say.
The SM57-SM58-like is not very sensitive. Especially compared to some modern microphones. So unless you have a sound that transplanting a sufficient level, if the guitar amp of course it is better a good preamp if you want to draw sth ... It's contradictory, but this cheap mic preamps likes that cost much more than him ... Again, except for medium and loud sounds, like the amp rock snare. It is also true for the SM58.
Value for money? Well today is a little overrated, I think. We pay the name. But hey, at the micro 100euros new, it may not be the flight anyway. Saying he had a good Q / P to 70euros ...
I would do if the choice? Yes, of course. You need one. Even if only because some musicians-or-mixers require. Habits ...
But I do not buy 10. Technology-and price-mics has also evolved in recent years ...
Just one thing: there are many opinions on this mic ... and I read some nonsense below. (Do not want to play my cunning, but there ...)
Proofread your opinions a little, please! There's no directivity "omni cardio. And directionality of SM57 and SM58 is the same. As for storing it in the "capacitor-type cardio ...
In addition, and importantly, to my knowledge there is no Shure "Made in China". They are WRONG. No wonder that the quality goes down compared to a Shure "Made in Mexico"! And, so, that he found a great sensitivity to feedback ... This is not my experience!
It must be said, for Shure (but beware, it's true for other brands too): there are a lot of FALSE. And resale value is affected! Damage.See less20 - RaoulPublished on 06/01/11 at 09:23 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Vocals, Gruitare acoustik, Snare

Despite his age and the output of its big brother the Béta57, it is still very usable.
Very good on snare. Very good for taking on his guitar amp.
Correct also for miking choral if there is no return in the corner (risk of feedback).
Passes fine on many other instruments, though I prefer the smoothness and the fidelity of electrets pencil.
OVERALL OPINION
Used over the past fifteen years, together with Béta57 slightly better in the high treble.
But there are still many professionals who prefer the SM57 on the snare Béta57 brighter.10

It is a very micro used for miking snare, especially live.

BUT BEWARE this is not a microphone that simple. Its placement (proximity, direction) significantly affects the sound, and can go from worst to best! Besides, I do not find it especially fabulous on a snare drum, just that it works and we know something out, where it will be catastrophic with other microphones.
I really like the SM57 because it is a robust microphone with a full, warm and relatively accurate. I know he is not going to stick a knife in the back, I also know that I'll have a little pampering he deigns to meet me.
What I like least? the front gate has a tendency to rust.
The value is good enough, it's a micro benchmark.
Yes it's a microphone that I use and still use it.See less10 - Jujumix

It really is happening everywhere. Works great on snare and guitars.
Correct on all percussion.
Can also be used on the song live (with a SM58 right and best on songs such screamed)
C'st an indispensable tool in live, even if it is not the best (I prefer an overall MD421 or i5)10

Published on 05/02/11 at 07:50 (This content has been automatically translated from French)I have two SM57, a pre-2000 (Mexico) and one from after 2004 (China)
Dynamic Microphone
The main difference between Mexico and China: they send the same pattern of EQ, but Mexico sends 6 dB more gain! Product quality has declined since, to Chinese materials ;-(
OVERALL OPINION
Used for years, even for the voice to repeat (beware it is very sensitive to feedbacks).
Super use on stage to send the signal to the mixer.
Pretty horrible in a home studio ... it's better to leave room for the pickups with large membrane condenser (48V power supply).10- fabou13

I use these mics for ten years, there are very good to use guitar amps, elements of percussion, wind instruments (that is not necessarily the most convenient but it works), see the vote ( but I prefer to use the SM58). It can be used on stage and in studio.11

cardioid dynamic microphone
OVERALL OPINION
I like the rendering of this microphone, however many times criticized, it is clear that there much better, it sounds rather dull, but with qq EQ and a comp, I'm happy with the result on my snare.
on amp I combine with an AKG C451 for static air, and the result is pretty good!
not a microphone that is placed like that and presto, no one must try several positions before finding the best sound ...10
