  • Excellent for home studio recording...

    As reviewed by Lon Diffenderfer on 12/28/2010

    Although a long time semi-professional singer/actor/musician, I am fairly new to recording in my home. However, I am pleased with the response I am receiving from colleagues and fans about the recordings I have made using this mic. I run the SM-57 to my laptop (running Windows 7). The sound is quite pure. Despite the limited resources I have available for creating a home studio, the reproduction of vocals using this microphone sound great on every system from which they have been played. Shure has won me as a loyal customer. As a recommendation to others who are also new to purchasing their own recording equipment, be careful when purchasing accessories recommended on this site. They are not always appropriate for use with the products for which they are being recommended. For example, the Nady SSPF-4 Pop Filter was recommended for use with this microphone but is not appropriate for the SM-57.

  • SM-57

    As reviewed by Aaron on 6/7/2010

    This was the mic that got me into recording. The sound quality is amazing and does not even require phantom power for a good sound. This mic has been the studio standard for years and still continues to do so. This is a clasic mic with a clasic price. This is the mic that will help you take places. I curently use this mic for amp micing along with acustic guitar unpluged recordings.

  • Industry Standard.

    As reviewed by Andy on 5/16/2010

    I can't say enough good things about this mic. I have compared it with high quality dynamic mics and the Sure 57 still sounds warmer then all of them. I would suggest getting a Mogami cable to insure no cable noise. You are good to go...
