Shure SM57 Instrument/Vocal Microphone

MPN: SM57LC

If ever there were an industry standard microphone, the Shure SM57 has got to be it. You will find it in world class studios and arenas as well as the most basic project studio. A mic that is this rugged, (you really can run these over with a truck, though not recommended) has proven itself time and time again. Plain and simple it just works, especially on snare drums and guitar cabs. You can not go wrong with the Shure SM57.

The Standard Mic

Review by Michael
A touring and studio standard that can last as long as you do! I've had a trio of these I've been using for almost 25 years and they are STILL working! I have had to replace the cords once or twice due to shorted wires, but that was due to touring abuse, not faulty equipment. This mic has an incedbile pedigree, and is descended form mics as the 554 and PE54, both of which I inherited from my friend's dad's studio and both of which have been operational since the 60s!

It sound good and vocals, and especially good on guitar cabs.
Yes, I recommend this product.
