SM57 LC : Instrument Mic of choice

The SM57 has been a staple mic for stage and stdio for many years. At this great price its difficult to find anything that competes.

Ideal for on stage micing of instruments (such as horns, guitar cabs, snare) as it is not prone to feedback, and has a open neutral sound.

Like its vocal partner the SM58, this mic is very rugged, withstanding years of abuse on a and off the stage without showing anything more than a few scratches.

Ideally sized for the (supplied) mic clip this is the number 1 grab and go microphone for live work.

Its also very at home in the studio and has found a place on many a snare drum in the past!

Overall I've been using these for a number of years, and have just ordered another, i'm sure I will continue to use them for many years to come.
