Description
The SM57 is the industry-standard dynamic instrument microphone found on stages and in studios worldwide. Its contoured frequency response with a bright midrange presence rise makes it the first choice for snare drums, guitar cabinets, brass, woodwinds, and countless other instruments. The SM57 has served as the lectern microphone for U.S. presidential addresses since 1965.
Performance
