Review of the Shure SM57 Dynamic Microphone



If you ask nearly anyone who runs a professional recording studio, "Do you have a Shure SM57?"  they might look at you and ask, "are you are serious?"  Of course they do.  Every studio needs at least one, and possibly a half dozen.  The reason is they not only sound good, but they can record practically anything.  The SM57 is one of the most universal mics in the world.  It will record vocals, drums (particularly!), guitar cabs, bass cabs, acoustic guitars, brass, and stuff that is really loud.   While no one will claim it is the "best" mic for vocals or for delicate acoustic instruments, it will work, and with great predictability as to the sonic outcome.  For people starting their home studios that don't have a lot of cash, this is one mic to get.
