Shure SM57 LC Reviews

Great microphone for both beginners and pros!

The sm57 has a huge range for instruments (and vocals.) A legendery legacy spanning decades and durable for anything it may come by.

The best mic on snare

There is no better budget microphone, on snare than this.

Go to budget microphone

Little to say other than that this is a necessary microphone to have if your starting out and working on a budget. Light weight, durable and great sound.

Solid, Sturdy, Legendary.

What can you say about SM57? It's a good work horse, I can definitely recommend getting at least one. It's built like a tank. Sound characteristics are pretty well-known, so I won't be diving much into them. For any home studio it's a must. Also came with small leather "case" (can't find a better word) for easier carrying. Honestly, just get one of these, but if you're on a budget, you should also check out t.bone microphones, they're cheaper and provide similar, if not better, sound characteristics.

This mic is just wonderful and works in so many different situations

This is Shure SM57)

No surprises. It's good. Exactly what I expected. I bought it for guitar recording. Good purchase 👌🏾

Versatile mic, great for electric guitar cabs

The SM57 is a classic mic, especially (in my opinion) for live and even studio use on guitar cabs like Marshall 4x12s. I like to use other mics as well for recording, but the SM57 has its place even in a studio.

The best instrument recording.

I use this for my electric guitar, recording through a PRS MT15 amp and Palmer 1x12 V30 cabinet. Amazing job.

one of the greatest microphones ever

incredible microphone, an absolute essential in my opinion; can be used to record just about anything.

Everything you expect

Does what it is supposed to do. A classic.

Good old 57

It's not like the 57 I used to have but it's still a good mic

Chinese, not Mexican.

Made in China.

Assembly and paint quality is a bit lower from Mexican ones that I always had.

It looks like best things are reserved for US these days.

Still, this thing works, can recommend.

Smashing SM57

Fantastic mic for my home studio, and a bonus with the mic stand ❤️

A classic

It is a classic. I use it for any instrument but especially for guitar amps.

Good for drums

Good for snare, toms, guitar cab

SM57

Does what it’s meant to do exceedingly well for its price. Very versatile microphone

Truly a classic, BUT...

Great microphone, well done and super quality components. I own it since 2018 and I am happy about it. The only negative side is that its sound is more projected on the mid high frequencies so I had to buy another microphone which projects on the middle bass frequencies to pair it with the SM57.

Amazing

Amazing mic, sounds great, feels sturdy and can be used on almost anything. Considering the price, there is nothing else you should look for.

Fantastic mic

Great clear sound, no feedback when settings are just right. Had this for years never let me down

Industry standart

What can you say for this mic that has not been said. Stable for snare and electric guitars for me for the last 17 years.
