All user reviews for the Shure SM57

Dynamic microphone, cardioid, instrument.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a bit more than a year and a year has almost all do (except for taking underwater, but I know too many microphones for a), I have acquired without the test and so it is clbre used and I think we can do the same, however I find that the notes can give is a EXAGRES is true that the sound is supper before a guitar amp, snare, toms, various percussion too bright on scne can grow a lot before acrocher gain, but hey it also shows its limits, a noise conscious enough Consequently, a rponse that colors even when a lot (but not forcment a default). On the Costs It feels a certain dynamic and good precision, but not worth a good capacitor. This is a good microphone, not too expensive (close to 130) which is really good but as its default even when a REFERENCE that all guitarists need to possder ( APRS is their any sound that is in the hands of the microphone!)

Trs a good mic that I used for recording guitar (my hp before a Marshall amp vaslvestate 8240) lgrement DCAL.

I have to retest this with a micro prampli worthy of the name that my sound card Edirol UA5 as a little weakling!
RALIS if I recorded with BOSS compressor, and it really captures the micro grain of the amp and Start ...

recommend it!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years, but not regularly.
It is true that it is a micro trs polyvallent but the sound quality also dpend other lments the chain, and SM57
if he has no right prampli lose its quality as any micro elsewhere.

impractical for short possder taken his guitar to amp.

In my experience this is the most common mic on the stage and in the studio. It is a dynamic mic. It is the industry standard for a reason, it is tough, it is cheap, and it sounds good. I got mine second hand from a guy who had had it for years. The thing is dinged up and the grill is bent, but it still works beautifully. Its typically used to mic guitars and snares from what I've seen, but I've used it on vocals and even acoustic guitar and its held its own. I think one of the reasons its become the industry standard is because of this versatility. Though it isn't the best mic for everything, it is a good mic for nearly everything.

OVERALL OPINION

The thing I like least about the mic is also thing I like most. It has this nasty little upper midrange hump that makes the mic cut beautifully live, but also can boost some unwanted frequencies in a studio situation. That said, its pretty easy to compensate for this with mic placement and equalization.

Undoubtedly this mic is a great value. They can be had for $100 new, less if you buy used. They're rugged, easy to use, quiet, and they sound great.

In the studio it seems to really help if you pair them with a condenser mic. The best sounds I ever got out of it was when I blended it with my AT2020. This mic helps to really fill out out the condenser sound.

Overall this is a great mic, and amazing for the price. On the stage it'll cut through in a mix and will reliable night after night. In the studio it is a great tool, especially if you've taken the time to learn how to use it best.

Very good for transplanting the sound coming out of a guitar amp.
Perfect for percu
Very good sound with a group of singers (to the microphone over the singers tilted)

Bad for a song in proximity because no pop filter

OVERALL OPINION

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Its power and quality on stage and in studio
It is clear, but I strongly suggest lowering the bass and treble to get a better intelligibility of the sound of scne

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Seinheisser of different but it's too cold.
- How do you report qualitprix?
Remarkably, I will not take anything without the highest price tests on a scene!

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Without hesitation, but I recommend pure singing SM58

To listen to the sound for an acoustic instrument by comparison with a piezo pickup and a StudioProjects C1, go http://cbom.free.fr/33.htm
No effect. Just the sound with the BLUETUBE and Bluemax Presonus.

I use my shure only to record my instruments, percu, djembe, Derbuka, balafon, and my FLUTE
I use a presonus tube pre amp first.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years, with strong and I will find my preamp sounds pretty hot I'm a little disappointed at the Acute flute but hey it is often advisable for percussion so it's a little normal.
this is my first microphone, I'm really happy relationship quality price, it''s really convenabel, I can save a lot of sound diffrent restution with the sounds more or less correct if I consider that in the treble is not the top!
experience with this choice I would do so, even if my experience is rather in micro dsuette but hey, knowing that you should always see their need in relation to the gear to use as I do, it suits me completely,
I think you can classify it in the right microphones and essentially dynamic in terms of percussion

Micro dynamic cardioid multipurpose use.

OVERALL OPINION

It is well known, the SM57 is really mat: guitar, percussion, ... and even voice (provided you do not stand too prs because of the proximity effect)

It is often the choice of n1 amps guitars I prfre far the TRS for a E609 that works wonders. Otherwise, a going well on toms, as on many other instruments ...
Other microphones, such as M88, are (under review) a better choice, except in a grunge / punck for "dirty" a little sound.

On a snare drum is really the top: by tilting in the right direction, it reduces the repisse charley, thanks its cardioid directivity.

His succsseur the Beta57, move up higher in the treble.

! SWISS ARMY KNIFE!

Hey Hey Hey.

I use it for making its global decision-surround sound ... C not the top, because we play with a ke Grat a bass and drums, our goal so just have a trace (same shit) of our compounds, we take the sound by suspending the SM-57.

Too big Caise dla prs = The bass eggs too beautiful ... but low ke ...
Same if PRS Lampl too low.
For the guitar, the mdium are made to my tastes bad, compared to the acute, a little garish at times, but really good trs.

OVERALL OPINION

Whereas it is as versatile trs. That's true.
Trs with our small way, it is connected directly to the INPUT of a minidisc, and yet remains a clean, well Preska (enough anyway).

With a budget a bit better with my dosh or medium-therm, jpense buy a mixing desk for a while pramp ncssaire microphone, and an SM57 for instruments. With a way to get there dja trs good record of a money point of view COSTS rsultat obtained ...

I will not repeat ...

OVERALL OPINION

A micro mat (pun intended)
he's great, I made this micro misery, and he still lives. At present, it is broken in two and I savagely stuck, it keeps the same qualities.
In any case, it is ideal for snare drums, the recovery amp scratch. for bass amps through it, it lacks bass ....
trade-in acoustic guitar live, it is bof.il lack of precision in the treble. for voice, it surprised me, I did not expect in this area. with a good preamp a male voice is the ca.
it is clearly appropriate for live, finally it's my opinion.
I read that it was not suitable for the studio, I would say except for the snare or toms to me.
should the beginner like me. for a small budget, it is one of the first to park in his microphone.
the price / quality ratio is great. although in its class, there is strong competition (sennheiser, T.bone etc. ..), it's worth it.
with experience, I bought a second account and get me 2 autresencore (for toms)
here is my opinion beginner.
