    Ideal dynamic mic jack guitar, drums (snare especially), percu ...
    Not much to say, everything has been said on the microphone.
    This is a must have as much in the studio or live.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have been using it forever. It is very robust, reliable. It does the job well (provided we know how to make a properly of course).

    The big advantage of this mic is its versatility. Some even sing it.
    Instruments for decision, there are many others that work very well (the series of e sheneiser eg), but difficult to find as versatile.

    No downside to this microphone proven long ago.
    I would do without this choice problem of course.

    good at all of the features has already been said, again I'm not really wedged in there

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for two years, and I am very happy. I used it for my Derbuka and some other test, also for the song (hiphop), has my level should be fine, I find his nickel.

    After this I used mainly to sample and very rarely for the song or sound recording of instruments but I would say that to start its price / quality ratio is really good

    Dynamic microphone, used mainly for my part in making the snare (top), guitar amp, bass amp (if!) And song for effects (keyboards etc.).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 years now. This mic is used for everything, it's crazy. He troubleshoots live for almost everything and it's great! Except for acoustic guitars or it is not top, he remains the dynamic mic with either having to troubleshoot!!

    What Type: Sound instrument: snare drum, sax, guitar amp, precussion, piano ... (Sound and studio)

    What technology: Dynamic Microphone

    OVERALL OPINION

    How long: 6 years

    I only used very few micro instrument before. My choice was motivated by the opinions on this site and following the advice of colleagues

    Most: the sound

    The least: nothing.

    Otherwise, a batatteur gave a helping Baget on the tip of the microphone (I do not know how he did it) so much so that the right has done for the camps. Worse, trying to put this protection in place, I ended up removing the capsule. Matches, I bouza a microphone 100 euro

    A true Swiss Army Knife

    Shure SM57Published on 04/25/11 at 12:10
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Unidirectional dynamic microphone for miking versatile enough, the "why" I call the Swiss Army knife.

    Some uses it for miking electric guitar, snare, toms, bass drum, etc..

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this mic for about 5 years because critics were and are unanimous that it is an excellent microphone especially for $ 128 Canadian. Depending on your recording system, this microphone can give you an incredible, if the source is good, of course.

    = Excellent value for money

    What thing do you like most/least about it? =
    + Built like a tank
    + Excellent for guitar

    - Can not do anything

    I would do that choice anytime!

    Just a microphone, simple, switch, cardioid (membrane wound)
    Cilyndrique form, size regular
    Response: 40Hz - 15kHz (the human ear is sencée hear from 20Hz to 20kHz)
    Dimensions (L x Ø): 157 x 32 mm
    Weight: 284 g

    Her look attractive to the general public

    OVERALL OPINION

    It can be used to amplify instruments (symballes, hat, snare, toms, guitar amps and more ...) or both be used for singing, performance is always good.

    I also have a Shure SM-58 (provided only for singing), and oddly, I prefer to sing with the SM-57.

    OVERALL OPINION

    30 years .....

    I bought 2 in the States, to dub my guitars in stereo, this is a trouble-free microphones that lasts in time, I have also an old 565D of time, it did not move!

    No surprise, "it runs on velvet"

    Price = very correct, for the proposed quality

    unidirectional dynamic microphone

    OVERALL OPINION

    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.

    Dynamic, already existed at the time of Kennedy.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Ben now, except for a snare drum or a djembe, eh ...

    In any case to a folk guitar or an accordion I can not stand the microphone.

    I gave it.

    instrument microphone, dynamic,
    Snare batteries or guitars

    OVERALL OPINION

    I am not an expert why I took this micro recognized by all.
    I use it for bedding via a USB interface AudioBox presonus sound of my guitar amps and bass on my pc.
    it has a neutral character who does not color the sound
    it may be lack of momentum to my taste (but I'm an amateur ...)
    used for making voice, he did very well out too.
    coupled with a good preamp, it will never default.

    Microphone for snare, guitar amp, percu
    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 ...

    microphone sound recording and dubbing stage, rather guitar

    OVERALL OPINION

    used for 5 years, my first and only micro transplanting, not too fragile (given that I made him stand on stage) good sound with a song pretty narrow directional recording c is sufficient for the amateur despites emerged more synthetic sound (on cubase) but not embarrassing.

    very good value for money and then c is a standard transplant, I've already remade this choice and as c is to the scene or amateur recording amplemant c is sufficient.

    Dynamic microphone for miking amps, instruments, singing ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this mic since 2006 for the following purposes:
    - In vocal microphone (with pop filter) for my home recording studio
    - In micro singing live (no pop filter) for the few concerts I have done with my group
    - To catch his bass guitars and amps to when I want to register my group or a group of friends.

    This is not an ideal vocal microphone, but it does its job at an affordable price. However, it is far from the shades can be achieved with a microphone static or other dynamic more appropriate.

    I am not a specialist in microphones, but obviously, the SM57 is done more for the times that amp for vocals. That said, do not have a huge budget, I took it because it is known, it has been proven and is still very versatile. I have three in total, which allows me to catch live with 3 amps (2 guitars, 1 bass).

    Let's say I'm very happy and for my use, it suits me. And for home studio use, the advantage is that the dynamics is not sensitive enough to recover the sound of sneezing or neighbor children playing in front of the building, when I worked as a normal room, acoustically untreated, non-isolated.

    microphones universal first choice ... he is all!

    OVERALL OPINION

    the microphone is not perfect, far from it, but for its price performance, it is doing no evil.
    I prefer a Sennheizer E609 for guitars and snare drum.
