MGR/Tim « Shure Beta 57A »
Published on 12/28/04 at 15:00I bought this mic from Guitar Center for $99.00 after very extensive research. I found this price on the internet and Guitar Center matched it. In fact, they were only able to match it down to $99.99 and had to take the extra $.99 off of the table stand I bought with it! That's how good a price I got it for. It was a good deal...
Welp, quite honestly, I like everything about this product. I am very satisfied with it. This thing is built like a tank with classic Shure heft, so durability is absolutely no problem here. It sounds so clear and so natural too. I use it primarily to mic my 30 watt amp, but it has so many other applications as well. I know that my drummer plans on getting one for his snare and it is used to mic anything from vocals to harmonicas aside from these applications! Pretty cool...
Also, I should mention that this mic has completely eliminated feedback as well. I was afraid this would be a problem, but it really isn't. I guess that this is due to this mic's supercardioid design and superior gain before feedback...
Another thing is that I am able to get so many different sounds depending on how I place this mic in relation to my amp. At first, I had it -center and was met with a sharp aggressive sound. By moving it a mere 2.5" down to the left, however, I found that it was a much smoother, natural sound. It's fun... I love this mic!
There's nothing that I dislike about this microphone. I have been unable to find any faults as of yet. I am very satisfied.
Again, this is a Shure and built like a tank. I expect this mic to outlive me!
I am very satisfied with this and would recommend it to anyone. In my opinion, this is the ultimate instrument mic and every musician should own one. Go for it!
