    Shure SM57-LC Cardioid Dynamic Microphone

    • 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.
