Shure SM57LC Shure SM57 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone Reviews
If you know the sure 57's then you know the timeless quality of this mic for snare and guitar cab micking. Good price
The sm58 is designed to enhance only the sounds that fall within a certain range (the vocal range as decided by shure). People will try to tell you that the sm58 is a better vocal mic, it's not true. This mic accurately portrays both vocals, miked instruments, acoustic instruments, and even some drums. I say some because we haven't tried the bass drum, might work for that as well, or might be too much, I don't know. Regardless, for a versatile mic that will last you as long as you need it to, buy the sm57.
I highly recommend it for the podcaster like me, and don't blow your money on higher-priced condensers or cheap condensers that sound muddy and just pick up more room noise, anyway. Really, to get the benefits of the better large-diaphram condensers, you need to spend lots of cash on a good mic preamp. If you're into podcasting, but want to step up to interviewing others with multiple mics, I highly suggest you buy a few of these, or the SM58 model, to add as additional mics to a small mixer board. If you want to get into serious podcasting interviews with multiple mics, get this or the SM58. I also spend over $300 on a good quality Shure KSM27, and I feel I should have just saved my money and stuck with the SM57. The Shure SM57 will get you the most out of your basic mic preamp, and give you the best sound for the money. If you want to add some more bass to your voice, you just move in closer (make sure you have a pop filter).
They don't require phantom power (phantom power does not equal a better mic).
It really is a great value.
The Shure SM57 does a very good job of recording what's in front of it without all of the proximity effect.
Highly recommended.
What a steal.
The higher-priced condensers are great mics, but really need a lot of money spent on other equipment (and room treatment) to be useful.
They are just so versatile, and sound through so clear.
I am a podcaster, and purchased one of these used for $60.
What else is there to say other than legendary. Maybe, it was too hyped up by everyone. When it comes to recording, I found my MXL condenser sounds warmer and more full. I often use it for vocals during practice. It is sturdy, but does not get as good of a sound as I expected.
Shure 57's are pretty well balanced across the board with very little adjustments on your EQ. There are counterfeits out there.be careful. True Shure microphones are typically very high quality microphones when they are direct from the Shure factory. After testing these microphones with other Shure 57's and having a couple of expert local sound technicians spec-out the microphones, we discovered that these microphones were total counterfeits.
Go ahead, pay a higher price and buy them from your local music dealer or from an Internet store that you trust. I just recently bought two 57's from two different Amazon dealers at a very cheap price of $70. I normally rate genuine Shure 57 Microphones as 5-stars. If there are problems with your high-end being very sensitive and feeding-back and you have no low-end, it's probably a counterfeit.
If you go for the deal, check your microphone as soon as it arrives.
