Shure - SM57-LC Professional Microphone Reviews

I had originally set out to acquire a sound system a little at a time, with the mikes being purchased early on.

I saw, on Ebay, a ligthly used microphone lot consisting of a Shure SM-57, Shure SM-58, and two audix OM3XB. All microphones enjoy a great reputation, the seller had a good feedback record and so I bought it.

I had already been well aware of Shure's reputation for puttng out quality microphones at fair prices. I was drawn to the SM-57 because of it's versatility, It is a cardoid, dynamic mike, meaning it is sensitive to the sound source and less sensitive to background noice. My research...

I've been making money with Music since the mid 60's.  No, I don't use a walker to get around, I got an early start.

The Shure SM-57 in one form or another has been around for as long as I can remember, and from my  experience, has to be the most popular and versitle mic in the World.

I have worked as an Audio Engineer (Live and Recording), a musician and vocalist.  The SM-57 has always been there.  In all those years making Music, I can't name one gig, Live or Recording, where I haven't used a 57 for something, if not for many things.

Sure (no pun), there are many, many mics, past and present,...
