 Re: Shure SM 57 Reviews
Quality: 10
Sleek, streamlined, and a studio icon. Who could resist the SM57?
There's no secret to this microphone. Just point and shoot at a snare drum and you're set. However, it also proves its worth in basically every application you can think of. Even vocals - the secret here is a powerful preamp. From that point, you can get some amazing sounds.
Reliability: 10
Dropped it, spilled an entire 8oz. can of ginger ale on it, and even had an untrimmed string on my guitar that was partially stripped (and VERY sharp, easily punctured me and made my hand bleed) swing around and drive 2 inches into the windscreen when I swiveled around in a chair after recording an acoustic guitar part.
Works fine, always will.
Overall Rating: 10
Honestly. Is it even worth reviewing anymore? This thing is great. The fact that the price has always been at what it is now is just mindblowing. It demonstrates the real value of this microphone.
