    Excellent bang for the buck

    I bought an SM57 primarily to record electric guitars. I spent hours with several other microphones and never really got a sound I was happy with until I tried the SM57. It was the clear winner after multiple position and amp setting checks.

    I also recorded some vocals with the SM57-- very versatile mic.

    There's a reason why so many people say so many good things about this mic. It's only a $100! Can't go wrong.

    I used it on this track for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeQ4J7vLdvI

    Basically this microphone remains a great value for the sound of a guitar and amp battery. For the rest I have not specially of experience.
    Personally I beeps battery (toms, snare and hi-hat with SM57. I use it also with the guitar amps.
    The sound is very good, it is easy to get a good sound and very nearly placed source, it reduces the influence of surrounding sounds. This is a reference number even if it is not the best forcment microphone. I mean the other microphones (ribbon, ...) will have more heat or other imperfections apprciables (more than character) while the SM57 is very used so it recognizes the b You (a majority of live concerts are…

    Here is the dynamic mic I use both for the stage, the studio (depending on style).
    Especially for brass, woodwinds, snare, guitar amp.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a long time and for a very long time. The feature I like most is its resistance to sound pressure and its very robust design.
    A quality / good price. I buy quite regularly.
    This is an extremely versatile microphone that can be found everywhere and it is "THE" reference microphone to have ...

    Dynamic microphone, specialized in making his instrument, but I also saw on voice (joe strummer at the time, for example) is very strong. Great on guitar amps (albeit with a slight time filter effect can be felt, but done with, it has its charm!)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I know for a long time, seen on stages and in almost every studio! The value for money is excellent, and the choice again, yes, the same achtant a pair for stereo plugs! I have several other mics, but this is the only dynamic in my home studio, it enters a pretty crazy sound pressure!

    I use it for miking live on my little vox amp, also on percussion. And I am fully meet these criteria. I must say that its Value for money is unbeatable :). I'm not an expert by far but little by little I learned and I team. The more time passes, the more you become demanding.

    For the guitar and acoustic guitar amplifier recovery.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Well, everything has been said and written about this reference. Because its reputation is well deserved: this microphone is near perfection.
    His character is sturdy and yet unanimous. Here is rather rare! Everyone agrees to praise the quality of the microphone and I'm one!
    In recovery amp, it is flawless: it faithfully reproduces the sonic character of the speaker combo or before which it is placed and it is both normal and many more. Do not forget that the price is still relatively low.

    You can really talk to her about quality / price ratio extraordinary.
    It is said sensitive placement? I think that this is a true quality because beyond its own sonic character, it remains neutral and transparent enough to respond to its position before the speaker.
    I often couple broadband static which gives me two tracks with different colors and an interesting mix. But even alone, he is doing well and does the job.
    It also captures happily acoustic guitars although I prefer other solutions. It will restore in any case, life in some guitars that fail due to its generous return of mediums.
    A legendary product that deserves its legend.

    Basically optimized for miking, dynamic type. However, with a great pop to the song!

    1 test today and it does well in singing and tested quickly resumption amp 5 watts. J bought directly shure because c is a reference. The quality is perfect for a reasonable budget remaining. I remake that choice without hesitation!

    I read here and there that there was a bump in the spectrum, I personally feel anything, or at least nothing that has bothered me.

    Excellent value for my home use, and the creation of my models. I do not need more, I'm primarily a guitarist, no sound engineer, so this model offers a quality / price ratio perfect. Now I have not tested other models, but I know that if I were to break or I lose, I would take the same model!

    Cardioid Dynamic Microphone

    Its low impedance can push the preamp needed without adding too much breath, which is appreciable.

    It has even been taken on his voice on TV shows!

    Must simply a must for a micro park worthy of the name.
