SM57
Dynamic Instrument Microphone





A snare crack. A power chord. A wailing sax. The potent notes that blast from your instrument connect to the crowd on a visceral level. And the sound needs a mic that can handle its strength. For every acoustic condition, the SM57 delivers the power of your playing to every fan in the house.
More than able to reproduce tone, the SM57 is also uniquely designed to deal with high-pressure sound that explodes from instruments and amplifiers. So you can turn it up without distortion drowning out the show. Your music deserves all the loud it can get.
Made for the stage
The contoured frequency response makes it simple to engineer clean audio for a live sound mix.
Handles the pressure
Hard knocks are just part of the show sometimes, and the SM57 is built to take them on. A hit from a high kick or a flying drumstick can’t shut it down.
Only the loud you want
With a uniform cardioid pattern and a pneumatic shock mount system, you get a whole lot of tone without the handling or background noise.
