Shure SM57 LC Reviews

Versatile

It's an industry standard for a reason. Simply very good mic.

Can't go wrong with 57!

Top for Guitar Amp recording!!

One of my top guitar mic for recordings love it!

Great mic

This mic doesn't need to be introduced to anyone. It is just one of the most popular and does the job excellent in any given conditions. The best in its price range for recording electric guitar.

One of most classic mics

I use this mic for almost everything. Guitars (for both electric in cab and acoustic in body), snares, toms, traditional instruments, and even for vocals. An absolute bang for the buck in this price range. If you need to buy one and only one mic, chose this one. 3 start only for feautures becasuse it hasn't basicaly any. No polar patern change, no hight pass filters, nothing. It does only one thing and it does it amazingly well.

It's a 57

I mean, what more can you say.

It's a workhorse and it's sound really good. Also works well on vocals with the optional A2WS pop-stopper.

The way this mic handles low-end, I much prefer to the SM58 for vocals. The 58 gets a lot more boomy when you get close. The 57 handles this much better in my opinion.

Despite the 57 and 58 having the exact same capsule, they sound quite distinctly different. Both good, tho.

And it's build like a tank. I do live audio, primarily. This thing is just a go-to. And I've never experienced one malfunction, in spite of how roughly stage gear is handled.

We expect our gear to hold up the "abuse," and this mic certainly does that.

And it's compact enough to easily fit 2 of these, plus the mic clips in a single mic bag.

Can't be beat

is what it is, classic reliable all rounder, can never have enough of these

best mic in the market

best mic in the market for guitar no matter genre dont forget lemmy used it for vocals too!

Reference for cabinets mic

Very nice for tracking, specially guitar cabinets !

Used this over a year to record a Dumble clone. Very clean and useful !

A reference for tracking guitar sessions !

Very durable microphone. I use them for recording electric guitars with clean amps. I am satisfied.

This mic will outlast you and probably your children!

Unbeatable sound, build quality and price. Just make sure your interface/preamp can provide enough gain to it.

Is there anything to say about this?

The shipping was great, packed well, all good. About the mic, is there anything I can say about it? Oh, I got a sticker in the package!

Industry standard

Not much to be said. Great piece of gear.

4 stars in quality because the grille is a tad bit loose (twists around very easily). This doesn't create any rattle and really isn't a problem at all, I just like rock sturdy material.

SM57

Got it for my studio usage.

Legendary SM57, nothing to add except - great price for a great mic!

Highly recommended for any high gain or transient recording.

Great for the value and it sounds good!

Pros: Very cost efficient and it does it job perfectly--for vocals and instruments, reduces/almost not capturing my neighbors dogs and outside noise (But it is fine coz my rooms is not TREATED)

Cons: There is still some noise captured but almost none. Maybe there will be none if my room is treated.

Who am I to say?

Do you need it? Yes.

What can I say...

It's the SM57, you can't go wrong... This mic is super versatile, I can record voices, amps, pianos, everything with it and the right processing... If you are considering, I would totally recommend this mic

Great Steady Mic

Over the past few years, i have tried other mics. i found this mic through youtube, so i bought it..

i am supper happy with all my recording right now.

Awesome Mic

Use :

I use it mainly to record guitars and sing, it is very polyvalent and does what I expect from it. Can only recommend it!

I don't use it everyday but all I can say is that it is perfect for almost any kind of recording.

I did not have a big budget but I needed a mic to record guitar and voices. So I chose to buy the Sure SM57 LC and I am really not disapointed. Very versatile. not much more to say.

Pros

It is extremely polyvalent so you can use it with almost everything, it is small. I bought in a bundle with a stand. Everything is quite sturdy. It is the first mic I buy so I can't compare with others bit I am entirely satisfied with it.

Cons

Nothing much to say, of course you can get mics for a specific purpose but for the price, this one is really perfect if you only want to buy one mic. It is a bit heavy but it's okay.

If you hesitate, do not, you will for sure not regret buying it as it is one of the best mic you can find for this price!

Solid mic

Classic mic, everyone should own one.
