  • The right tool for the job.
Style: SM57
I bought this mic mostly for streaming, but it's a fantastic general purpose desk microphone as well- with some caveats. Let me preface all of these caveats by saying that the sound quality you can get out of this mic completely overshadows any of the measures I had to take to do so, and it's now my *only* microphone. 1. You need to be close to the mic in order to get good sound and simultaneously good background noise rejection, and some people might find having a mic this close to their face disagreeable. This is not unique, however, to the SM57; it's a pretty standard caveat of these types of mics. 2. You will need an audio interface and very probably a preamp to get the most out of it. Personally, I've got it hooked up to a Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen, and that's been doing absolutely fantastic, although you do need to crank the gain all the way up it seems in order to get strong enough signal. I have been told that a preamp would help, and I intend to get my hands on one sooner or later to make the most of this mic. Finding good mics is hard especially in the $75-200 range as there is a lot of abject garbage masquerading as "professional grade". This makes things a lot simpler; the SM57 is one of the most widely used microphones in music and broadcasting for a reason: value and functionality. You can buy better microphones, but not without a dramatic jump in price. I'll be hanging on to this mic for as long as I can, and based on the apparent build quality, that may very well be forever, barring exceptional acts of foolishness on my behalf. ... show more

  • Instrument mic
Style: SM57
Bought for playing harmonica. Easy to hold playing harp. Also good mic for amps and drums. Won’t pick up ambient noise as easily as a ball mic. It’s a tried and true device.

  • It still rocks after all these years.
Style: SM57
Using this for my home recording setup. Same mic we used in 1966 when I played in a band. Yeah, I'm dating myself! I know it's an instrument mic, but I've always used it with a pop filter for vocals. I like its looks better than the SM-58, that's all. As others have noted, it could use a preamp in front of the audio interface (Scarlett Solo). The Triton FETHead seemed to do the trick. ... show more
