It is a dynamic microphone reference for miking of instruments. Its frequency response is relatively high for a dynamic mic (40Hz-15000Hz).

It can be used for the song but in this case it will probably prefer a SM58 is the same with a lump in the upper midrange giving more presence.

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

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over 10 years.

I had used before that a lot of cheap microphones. I admit the use of snares for transplanting
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.
