Added to E-CatalogDecember 2015

A classic instrumental dynamic microphone that has become the industry standard for recording snare drums and guitar amplifiers in studios worldwide for decades. The model is built around a time-tested dynamic capsule with a cardioid pattern, which focuses on the sound source and minimizes the capture of extraneous noise, which is especially critical when working with loud instruments in dense arrangements.

The frequency range from 40 Hz to 15 kHz is specially optimized to convey the character of instruments. The Shure SM57 microphone features a sensitivity of -56 dB and a nominal impedance of 150 ohms, ensuring compatibility with any mixers and audio interfaces through a standard XLR connector without the need for additional amplification for most sources. Its compact dimensions of 157x32x32 mm and weight of just 284 grams allow the microphone to be placed in limited space near drum sets or in front of guitar cabinets, and its robust metal body withstands years of intensive use on tours and in studios.

The dynamic operating principle means no need for phantom power and high resistance to overloads — the microphone handles extreme sound pressure levels from drums and overloaded amplifiers without distortion. The package includes a holder for mounting on a microphone stand, a protective case for transportation, and a 5/8"-27 to 3/8"-16 thread adapter for compatibility with various types of mounts, making the model a ready professional solution for concert and studio work. Industry standard for decades, cardioid pattern minimizes noise, optimized for instruments, compatible via XLR without extra amplification, robust metal body, no need for phantom power, includes stand holder and case.
