Shure SM57-LC Cardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone
The Shure SM57 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone is exceptional for musical instrument pickup or for vocals. With its bright, clean sound and carefully contoured presence rise, the SM57 is ideal for live sound reinforcement and recording. It has an extremely effective cardioid pickup pattern which isolates the main sound source while minimizing background noise. In the studio, it is excellent for recording drums, guitar, and woodwinds. For musical instruments or vocals, the SM57 Unidirectional Microphone is a consistent choice of professional performers.
Perfectly Designed For Instruments
Whether on stage or in the studio, the notes that flow from your instrument directly connects your audience on a visceral level. Such sounds need a microphone that can handle its strength. For every acoustic condition, the SM57 Instrument Microphone delivers the power of your playing to every fan in the house.
How It Works?
More than able to reproduce tone, the Shure SM57 is also uniquely designed to deal with high-pressure sound that explodes from instruments and amplifiers. So you can turn up without distortion drowning out the show. Your music deserves all the loud it can get.
Made for the Stage
The contoured frequency response makes it simple to engineer clean audio.
Great Pickup
With a uniform cardioid pattern and a pneumatic shock mount system, you get a whole lot of tone without the background noise.
