Shure SM57 & SM58 & Beta 52a
Instrument and Vocal Dynamic Microphones
Music & Sound Tip 💡
Here at Pure Power Music we love the classic Sm57 & sm58 mics. Very durable and sounds great on a wide variety of sources.
The sound of the SM57 isn't the only thing that makes it a fantastic workhorse microphone. Its tight cardioid polar pattern gives you exceptional isolation. In fact, one of the reasons the Shure SM57 is such a popular snare drum microphone is that you can position it to reject the sound of the nearby hi-hat. But the SM57's stellar off-axis sound rejection is not only great in the studio. Onstage, it's easy to position the SM57 so that it won't pick up the sound of the PA, allowing you to get maximum gain before feedback.
