Shure SM57 LC Reviews

Best snare mic

If you want a snare mic for live and recordings, this is the one. I used this a lot and it's still in good shape (the cap came loose a few times but it's an easy fix) Must have for every drummer who gigs, records or uses in ear monitoring!!

unquestionably industry standard with affordable price

SM57 is a proof, a quality microphone doesnt have to be pricy

best mic

One of best microphones out there, you can use it literaly on everything from drums, guitars, bass, vocal. Really a must have.

Nice

Most people seem to use these on instruments, especially drums. I find them really nice for vocals. I like the darker sound they have. It means I spend less time EQ'ing. Just be sure to use a pop shield!

Industry Standard.

One of those mics that can do just about everything well,

bought several of these along with some 58's for a local open mic night, needed something that could do just about anything, acoustics, guitars, snares (a personal favourite) cajon's.

does just that. can't go wrong

Amazing little mic

Does what it's supposed to do and more. I use to mic bass and guitar cabs as well as for vocal recordings.

Haven't found any cons yet.

what can i say

The old good SM57 never turns down.

Great mic for record guitar cabinets

I get this mic to record guitar cabinet at home through Focusrite Scarlett Solo. Even on low volume this mic gives great tone of the Greenback speaker and it feels a lot more natural than plugins.

Additional nice thing - included microphone clamp for mic stands.

I can't find any cons for this mic - this is well known SM57.

Classic

It doesn't get much better than this. The SM57 is a go to for micing up an amp or snare drums, but it can do so much more. It's great for vocals, and surprisingly good on acoustic guitars, too.

It also doesn't hurt that it's built like a tank. These things feel like they could withstand an atom bomb.

For a professional-grade dynamic microphone, this is one of the best you can get for any price.

DOES ITS JOB THE BEST

LEGENDARY MIC - CAN CAPTURE GOOD SOUNDS FROM IT IF SET UP PROPERLY

One of the best microphone for recording

Shure SM57 is one of the most useful microphone for recording, best performance on guitar or bass amps and on drums (snare and toms)

The Best Vocal & Precusion Mic

Sweet Sound, Best Quality and super value for money!!!!

Real and original

The legendary microphone. Does he still need comments?

This mic by Shure is a classic in live and studio situations. Sounds really good. I have been using it for guitar amps and I always was very pleased of the output. A industry standard.

For blues harmonica: too expensive for no obvious benefit

I don't know why amplified blues harmonica players are interested in the microphone. It is heavy, not easy to hold and cup, and the rotating head with this horrible flexible ring is extremely annoying when it is inside your palm. The sound for blues harmonica is not interesting and inferior to the classic vintage Shure or Astatic elements.

The sound

i use this mic for vocals and i love it. "although it was made for instruments"

Shure sm57

Nothing to say about this mic, durable , clear , cheap, reliable. Best intro mic.

Must Have

We use this mic on our snare and get insane quality. I always make sure i have a couple of these with us at every gig. Versatile really good sounding mic.. Especially on drums

Classic, what more is there to say

i bought this for live and studio use, and of course it is top notch. An absolute classic that is still going strong. Built like a tank and sounds amazing. If you dont have one, get one, two or three. you wont be dissapointed and you can never have enough of these mics lying around.

No introduction needed

One of the most famous mics in the world.

I use it for snare drum and guitar cab recordings mostly, works like intended and is extremely durable.

I often use 2x 57s for metal guitar recording with the fredman mic technique.
