SHURE SM57-LC
Legendary Cardioid Dynamic Microphone for Professional Instruments
General Description
The SHURE SM57-LC is a legendary professional-quality dynamic microphone specifically designed for instrument reproduction. A snare drum crack. An arpeggiated chord. A powerful saxophone solo. Whether on stage or in the studio, the notes that matter deserve a microphone that captures them with precision. The SM57 provides professional-quality reproduction for drums, percussion, and instrument amplifiers. It features a uniform cardioid pickup pattern that isolates the main sound source while reducing background noise. The pneumatic shock mount system cuts handling noise. Extremely durable under the heaviest use. The microphone features a contoured frequency response for clean instrument reproduction and rich vocal pickup. The contoured frequency response with its presence boost helps the instrument stand out better in the main mix. The extremely effective cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source and will simply record what you point it at while rejecting sound from the rear. It is uniquely designed to handle the high sound pressure that explodes from instruments and amplifiers. So you can turn it up without distortion drowning out the show. Your music deserves all the volume it can get. Manufactured by Shure, a legendary brand in design and construction quality for exceptional performance.
