The Shure SM57 is an easy mic to review. That’s because they have been established for years as an industry standard. What that means for you is a quality, dependable mic with a proven track record. Despite its reputation, I’ll add my two cents.
You can use this mic for almost anything. I have personally used 57s for snare, kick, toms, hi hats, guitars, bass, vocals, and more. It’s like pressing “the easy button” in the recording world. Need a mic you can count on? Grab a 57. The truth is every studio should have at least a half a dozen of these babies. And that’s a minimum.
For under $100, you can’t beat it. It’s rugged enough for years of live use. You would have to be an ape to break one of these things. My final word: if you don’t own at least one SM57, you aren’t serious about your sound.
