"We used the SM57 for guitar, drums, bass everything. I mean you have to ask yourself, is there anything it can't do?" - Scott Weiland, Stone Temple Pilots Here's a mic that you'll find in vocal and instrument applications, in live sound, in the studio and in the hands of luminaries that run the gamut from the President of the United States to Cyndi Lauper, Daniel Lanois, Stone Temple Pilots, Stewart Copeland and AC/DC. Why? Maybe it's because it offers an extremely effective cardioid pickup pattern that isolates the sound source while minimizing background noise. That makes its great for close miking, guitar and bass amps, snare drums, toms and congas - and vocals. Add rugged reliability and Shure's reputation for quality, and you've got one microphone that can play all positions, earning its reputation as The Industry Workhorse.
