SM57 LC : You'll need a hefty pre-amp

my setup: Focusrite Scarlett2i2, sE DM-1, Shure SM57, A2WS

I use it for - as a mic for conference calls (Discord, etc), vocal recording and guitar amp mic-ing (have not mic-ed drums yet)

The mic itself is really nice, no doubt about it, I am still getting to know it, but the first thing you may need to know is that it needs a lot of gain.

I thought that with the Scarlett 2i2 I would just be able to plug it in and get the crispy studio mic quality, but it wasn't that easy, the mic was really quiet and I was forced to buy an in-line preamp (sE DM-1 Dynamite, but you could go with the FetHead, CloudLifter and others). (that's why I gave it 4/5 on sound, otherwise it's really good)

You should be prepared to spend a couple of bucks on a seperate pre-amp if you are going with a similar setup to mine, but otherwise the mic is top quality, a rigid build, it weighs quite the bit, maybe not great to be hand-held.

Be sure to use a good cable though, not too long, to avoid noise, and plug the in-line pre-amp, if you are going with a type, similar to mine, directly in the mic with the cable following, so that you would not boost the noise of the cable (it's inevitable to have some really low cable noise).

And good luck!
