The Shure SM57 Instrument Microphone is the world’s most versatile dynamic microphone, equally at home on snare drums, guitar amplifiers, brass instruments, and podium speeches. Its contoured frequency response with a bright, clean midrange presence peak cuts through any mix, while the pneumatic shock mount reduces handling and stand noise. The SM57’s compact form factor and uniform cardioid pickup pattern provide excellent off-axis rejection, minimizing bleed from adjacent sources in multi-microphone setups. Built with Shure’s legendary durability — the steel mesh grille and internal shock mount system survive the rigors of touring, festivals, and daily event use. An essential workhorse for any professional audio setup. Rent SM57s from Ashley Systems for events, recordings, and productions in NYC.
