The Shure SM57 is known for its ability to get great results in any scenario, making it the quintessential instrument microphone. It can handle the power of seriously loud instruments without distorting, making it perfect for capturing the sound of guitar cabs. Its contoured frequency response sounds rounded and natural, with a gentle presence boost at 4kHz for extra clarity. With the SM57, you can capture the authentic sound of your instrument by simply pointing the mic and hitting record.
The SM57 is also popular for capturing impressive drum sounds. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on the sound in front of it, rejecting feedback and ambient noise. This minimum spill means maximum clarity and punch, and the mic’s super sturdy construction ensures it can handle stray drum hits without damage.
Although the SM57 is famed as an instrument mic, its versatility extends beyond that. It has been the official microphone of the White House since 1965, with every president addressing the nation using a 57. It is also a popular choice for vocals in the music industry, thanks to its mid-range boost that helps vocals cut through a mix. Even powerful singers won’t overload the SM57, unlike sensitive condenser mics.
