SM57 LC : Tough as nails

You can't any better than this I guess. I've been using this mic extensibly abroad while on several shoots and it shows no sign of wear or any defect. Believe me, I've treated it with some bad manors in Africa, under dust, moisture, thrown around in a camera bag, and it just keeps on going. If it's build quality you're after, this is a tank.

Sound wise, it's very clear and crisp, specially happy with the highs and mids.

For the price that you're paying, and the quality you're getting, I can't see a direct competitor from another brand that would make me not choose this Sm57, it's the best hand held mic that I have ever owned, undoubtedly.

Very sound purchase and will last a lifetime. Recommend!
