Shure SM57 LC Reviews

classic is always right

this is a classic microphone which is the best seller since it's release. I've been using it for about 8 months and I must admit it's fame why this product is rated as a classic product. Solid, safe and very detailed at the recording. Huge recommendation here

Industry standard for a reason

I've been using these to mic up guitar amps and snares for years and they never let me down. They take a beating and always sound great.

Industry standard for a reason

Can’t go wrong with instrument micing with the classic SM57. Use it for snare, guitar amp and two for piano. Can never have enough!

If you're buying one of these, you know what it is.

Or if you don't, this thing will last you a life time and always give you at least a useable sound when you point it at something loud.

The snare mic I needed

I finally decided to record my drums for a sample pack I' m putting together.

When it came to choose mics, I ask 2 of my pro drummer friends and they both advised the SM57 and I'm really pleased with the first results I'm getting.

No faf, mic straight in my apollo interface and it's sounds great, in addition to my overhead mic, for that extra punch and body.

Can't be beaten

Great sound and tough enough to hammer in nails.

It's an SM57... What more can I say?

It's exactly what it should be. Simple, robust, reliable with a classic and quality sound

Outstanding

This is the perfect choice for a snare drum guitar cabinets or even vocals. Highly recommended

smooth

no bad words, does its job. 5 stars

Perfect for electric guitar

I bought this as my second mic after a really cheap large diaphragm condenser. I wanted something that could record my guitar cabinet and also something with a bit better noise rejection than the condenser. The SM57 is perfect for this.

I've tried it for recording various things, and the only thing I don't like so far is acoustic guitar. I've seen people get good results with it, but for me it's lacking compared with a condenser mic.

best microphone

After trying for several months, it's the best mike I've ever tested. Durability in workmanship and sound

Original

You really cant say enough about it ,history has spoked,its a leggendary mic for almost all aplications plus that it can handle hard use.

Perfect!

nothing to say, it works

It's SM57, you can't go wrong with it

Use it to track guitar amp and backing vocals. Sounds great.

Shure SM57 LC

A classic! I mainly use this in the studio as top side snare mic,it gives me all

I need.

You already know what you need to know

I mean, it is the Shure SM57. Everybody and their mom has vouched for this microphone. Now, it IS my first microphone, and I was surprised as I thought it would be bigger. Feels sturdy, comfortable to use, love the leather pouch it comes with.

Now for the important part: It sounds great. It actually picks up a ton so make sure you have an isolated area to record. I fully recommend it as a multipurpose mic.

An industry standard microphone for instruments

If you buy one microphone to mic an instrument make it an SM57. High quality at a reasonable price. It has been used since the 60s and still used today in professional studios. One great thing about this mic is that you won't outgrow it. Look after it and it will look after you.

The first microphone one should buy

What to say about it....the BEST

anywhere in the world, in a studio there will be a SM57, it sounds amazing, is resistant, lasts for a life and its use is very flexible! I added a lot to my studio!

A must for guitar recording

So happy that i've finally got this classic mic at a fair price to record guitars in my home studio.

Except guitars i really like to use it live for my vocals cause of its clarity!
