SM57 LC : Shure SM57

Shure SM57 microphone definitely deserves to be called legendary. You can use it for pretty much any instrument you want and it works equally good when you use it in a studio and when you use it for live concerts. In the last 15 years we've used it to mic guitar cabinets, acoustic guitars, snare and tom drums, various brass instruments and even pianos and vocals. Definitely one of most all-round mics available. Most studios and rental companies have at least couple of Shure SM57 mics. The microphone comes with a small bag for carrying and original Shure adapter for a microphone stand. So far I never heard that anyone had any problems with this mic so I would definitely recommend getting at least one of these.
