What we say:
At A Glance:
The Shure SM57 is an industry-standard dynamic microphone for stage and studio use. This tried and tested microphone is possibly most recognisable for being used on guitar amps and cabs, however, the SM57 is also an excellent choice for capturing acoustic instruments, drums and even vocals.
Features We Love:
The'57 On Guitar Cabs
The '57 is world famous for being used on guitar cabs and is often an essential part of a recorded guitar tone. Built to withstand high sound pressure levels, the SM57 can capture the sound of your amp at high volumes and not distort or clip, resulting in a clear and punchy tone that sounds great across any genre of music.
The '57 On Everything Else
The SM57 is a sound engineer's friend. If you're unsure what mic to use in a situation, the chances are that it'll sound good with a 57. From capturing vocals to acoustic guitars, brass instruments and even snare drums and tom-toms, the SM57 works well in any situation.
Low Noise
The SM57 features a dynamic capsule suspended by a pneumatic suspension system which means that even when held in your hand, the SM57 isn't prone to rumbling and you won't experience noise travelling through the cable or stand and into the capsule.
Who Is It For?
Guitarists, recording studios and entertainment venues looking for a reliable classic microphone.

Very good recording mic... Excelent for what I want...
E.S. - 12/10/2015
Shure SM57 is a one of the best microphones I have ever had. In my opinion Audio Technica ATM650 is better but that's only my taste. Some people like Shure SM57 the most.
