About the Shure SM57 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone
The SM57 is Shure's cardioid dynamic microphone, first released in 1965. It covers 40 Hz to 15 kHz, but the response is shaped rather than flat: a presence rise helps a snare or guitar stand out in a mix. The rated impedance is 150 ohms (about 310 ohms actual) on a three-pin male XLR, and it is passive, so it needs no phantom power or batteries. The body is dark grey enamel over die-cast steel, with a polycarbonate grille around a stainless steel screen; it is 157 mm (6.2 in) long and 32 mm (1.25 in) across, and weighs 284 g (10 oz). A pneumatic shock mount inside isolates the cartridge from handling noise, and the replacement cartridge is the R57.
New, it comes with a break-resistant swivel stand adapter that turns through 180 degrees on a standard 5/8 inch thread, a zippered storage bag and a hook-and-loop cable tie. The same mic is sold as the SM57-LC and, in Europe and Japan, as the SM57-LCE. Its standard jobs are snare drum and guitar cabinets, and it is common on toms, brass, woodwinds and vocals too.
