Shure SM57 Dynamic Instrument Microphone
The Shure SM57, a dynamic instrument microphone, has a contoured response and a presence rise that help guitar amplifiers, drums, and horns cut through a mix.
Its cardioid pattern picks up the source in front and rejects sound from the rear, and a pneumatic shock mount keeps handling noise down. In the studio it also handles woodwinds and vocals.
The body is dark gray enamel-painted die-cast steel with a polycarbonate grille and a stainless steel screen. The grille turns freely by design; a windscreen stops any rattle when the mic sits close to a drum.
