Description

The Shure SM57 is a true icon in the music and audio world. You’ll find it everywhere—from small clubs to 100,000-seat stadiums, on legendary performers and rising artists alike. Behind the scenes, the SM57 is a workhorse in professional recording studios, often the most common microphone in the room.

This unidirectional (cardioid) dynamic microphone set the standard for how instruments should sound in live and recorded environments. Its warm, clean sound and carefully contoured presence rise make it ideal for capturing the detail and punch of guitar amplifiers, drums (especially snare), brass, and many other instruments.

The SM57’s uniform cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing background noise, ensuring clarity even on loud stages. Built with Shure’s legendary rugged construction, it withstands years of heavy professional use.
