SM57 LC : A true classic multi-purpose microphone for professionals and those who are starting.

9 years ago

After reading all the suggestions of which would be the best multi-purpose microphone that can be used for almost anything I deceided to go for the classic Shure SM57. And I am glad I did that!

At the moment I am mainly using it for rehersal and demoing guitar / vocals but of course it can be used for professional recordings and live performances. I am not that experienced yet to tell about the sound quality which definately is good but this mic is a great starting point to experiment and learn.

It is not a suprise that the microphone is very well built and durable. You can really feel it when you are holding it in your hands as it feels heavy and robust in a good way. It comes with a nice little leather carrying pouch which is handy.

I don't think this microphone really has any cons considering it's an industry standard and built like a tank.

Overall this is a must have microphone that can be recommended for anyone! Especially for those who are searching for their first universal microphone that could be used on recording almost anything. At this price, it is a must have!
