miramadar « Shure Beta 57A »
Published on 09/07/04 at 15:00Bought this mic on Ebay for $100.00. I needed a better mic for instrument/vocal recording.
The Beta 57A is a great sounding mic for both instrument and vocal applications. It offers plenty of gain and doesn't feedback easily. I've used it to record acoustic guitar, vocals and used it in live performance to mic fiddle, saxophone, harmonica and vocals. In all applications, it performed great.
This particular mic is a little heavy on the mid-range. Some folks like that and for certain instruments it's really called for. I'm not a huge fan of strong mid-range, but I've been able to set the EQ to get a really sweet sound anyway.
It's a Shure! Rock solid. Solid metal...heavy construction. And unlike the standard 57's, this mic has a metal grill for added ruggedness.
Great mic for recording or live performance. A true asset to have in your mic lineup.
