The Shure SM57 unidirectional 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 is a consistent choice of
professional performers.
