These are industry standard, dynamic microphones - built like military hardware with surprisingly good audio response and offered at a terrific value
-
Just a great value in my opinion.
-
I have tried others, including very expensive models, and it quickly becomes apparent that with the good old 57 you have in your hand the best value out there.
-
A best value for sound companies, home studio recordists and touring musicians.
-
This mic is great value, and is better that some more expensive ones
-
It would be very difficult to find a professional recording studio that doesn't have at least a few of these lying around, and for good reason - they work great for many applications, they are reliable, they can take a beating, and they are a fantastic value given their performance
-
Firstly, it is a highly directional mic - don't expect to pick up much from the sides or back of it, making it a great, focused instrument mic.
-
If there's a workaday mic in the world, used by every studio in existence as well as on just about every stage, it's the SM57.
