Whether it’s on stage or in the studio, it’s known for capturing instruments with clarity, punch, and remarkable consistency.Its signature sound comes from a carefully shaped frequency response that highlights the detail and attack of your source without sounding harsh or overprocessed. Guitar amps feel full and defined, snare drums snap with precision, and brass or acoustic instruments retain their natural character.Designed for control as much as tone, the cardioid pattern keeps your focus exactly where it should be—on the instrument—while minimizing bleed from everything around it. That makes it a go-to choice for close-miking, especially in busy sessions or live environments where separation matters.And because great sound needs to be dependable, the SM57 is built to handle real-world use. Its rugged construction and proven durability mean it performs just as reliably in daily studio work as it does under the demands of live performance.A true workhorse for: guitar amplifiers, snare drums, percussion, brass, acoustic instruments, live sound, and studio recording. Review: The best Swiss Army knife of microphones - I just picked up a Shure SM57 in February 2026, and honestly, I’m blown away. It solved one of the most frustrating problems in my home studio: recording a guitar amp without picking up outside noise. My “studio” is just a bedroom, and I’ve always battled traffic sounds and general room noise creeping into my recordings. With the SM57, that problem practically disappeared. This mic is incredibly focused. I can place it right up on the amp, and it captures the tone I want without dragging in the rest of the room. I’ve even had a TV playing off to the side and still recorded clean guitar tracks with no noticeable bleed. That’s something I couldn’t pull off with other mics I’ve tried. The SM57 just does what it’s supposed to do. It handles high sound pressure levels without flinching, so you can crank your amp and it won’t distort. The midrange presence is perfect for electric guitar. It gives you that punch and clarity that sits right in a mix without much extra work. There’s a reason this mic has been a studio standard for decades. It’s affordable, built like a tank, and sounds right. If I’d bought one 30 years ago, I probably would’ve made a lot more music instead of fighting my setup. Plain and simple, the SM57 is the sound of electric guitar. And it turns out, it’s exactly what my home studio needed.

Use a large diaphragm condenser (LDC - requires 48v phantom power) for vocals. Someone said the 57 and 58 are the same, this is NOT true. The capsules are different with the 58 being a GREAT choice for LIVE vocals. The 57 is an earlier design and was more of a jack of all trades mic. Studio recording (no matter where it is isolation booth or bedroom) is about capturing the cleanest signal possible, that really requires a LDC mic where vocals are concerned. One exception is metal vocals, in that case the SM7B LDD (Large Diaphragm Dynamic - no phantom power) is the better choice. Dynamic mics can take higher SPL than condensers. **Q: What is the difference in this SM57-LC and the SM57? I can't seem to find what the LC is about.** A: The LC stands for "Less Cable." As in it doesn't come with a cable. Shure used to sell a model that did come with a cable. As Raffael's link pointed out, they no longer sell the one with the cable. The microphones themselves, however, were exactly the same. So there's NO difference between an SM57-LC and SM57. **Q: can it be attached to a video camera with a cable?** A: The Shure 57 has a standard balanced audio XLR connector. You will need an adaptor or cable that converts XLR to the type of connector on your video camera. Shouldn't be a problem to find one. Other than that, its suitability will depend on your use. If you are using it "off camera" and reasonably close to your subject, it should be great. If you are mounting it on the camera somehow, be aware that it is not a highly directional microphone and you'll be recording most sounds in front of the camera. Good Luck. **Q: hello,Can i use this with xvive u3 on pa monitor?** A: Probably, if it has an XLR input or you can use a connector that can adapt it to your PA. Keep in mind that this is not a phantom powered mic. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best Swiss Army knife of microphones *by W***R on February 26, 2026* I just picked up a Shure SM57 in February 2026, and honestly, I’m blown away.
