Shure SM57 LC Reviews

A must for every studio

The SM 57 is renowned as a guitar amp mic and it really performs up to its name.

Very durable construction and one can be sure that they can enjoy the performance of this mic for a very long time.

We also used several times for micing vocals and I can say we were impressed by the quality of the end result. Vocal wise, it is more useful for males. A note of caution ... If using it for vocals, use it in combination with a good pop filter.

Legendary Mic

well what to say the sm57 is truly a legendary mic its heard day in day out on records all around the world you could say its the u847 of the guitar world a must own for any studio or recording musician! well down to the real world stuff its soooo versatile suitable for pretty much any situation or instrument ive used it alot of guitar cabs, bass amps, acoustic guitar and broadcast vocals all to great effect the quality is great offering a transparent yet signature tonality and a upfront focused sound a essential mic in any engineers tool box couldn't be recommended enough!

Industry Standard!

This a great mic for many applications. It works effortlessly on Guitar amps and Snares as well as Acoustic Guitar...well just about everything really.

It can even be great on Vocals (voice dependent of course).

It's built like a tank to the best quality, like every Shure mic i ever used.

As for extra features....its doesn't have any extras cos it doesnt them.

Simply put, there is a reason every studio in the world have multiple SM57's in their mic lockers!

If you don't have this mic, do yourself a favor and buy at least 1!

All over it's a 5 Star must have.

Industry standard.

What more can you save, SM58 and 57, the industry standard.

Just don't waste money buying cheaper miss, if you have the cash get something better but never go lower. These will give you years of quality service.

They sound great on snare, toms, bodhrans, cajons, electric guitar cabinets. Even sax and most other instruments, give it a try. Some vocalists even seem to sound better with a 57 rather than a 58.

Just make sure you buy from a reputable dealer, never on Ebay, there are just too many fakes on the market. First thing to do when you get yours is to weigh it, if it is less that 270 gms its a fake.

Review Shure SM57 LC

This microphone is a standard classic gig mic these days - like all shure products its very well made would be near impossible to break it - its nice that it comes with the clip holder as well as a carry case which also both came in handy. I use this mic to mic up a small fender blues junior and straight to the p.a. - Of course depending on where at the speaker you point it will depend on the sound you get but this SM57 does exactly what I expected it to do - recommend this to anyone.

Shure SM57

The industry standard for instrument microphones. Very happy with mine, it has performed faultlessly since I bought it. Does a great job of reproducing the tone from my Orange amp, which is what I need.

You can't really go wrong with a Shure SM57, a brilliant mic for almost anything but best for instruments. My favourite uses are drums, guitar amps and brass. It gives a great sounds, nice and clean with some punch! I've used in both the live music sector and in studios and they are great, really everybody should own at least one!
