Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The polar pattern for this mic is more uni-directional. It's a very no-fuss straightforward mic that will do what you want it to. Very versatile mic.

This mic is on a shock mount with an a81ws foam. Industry standard recording mic, sm57 and sm58 are the best starting point if you need to buy a mic.

Quality


Fabulous frequency response, warm sound, and durable.


Great sound out quality out of these mics as well.


If you've ever known anything about recording audio from instruments to even vocals, you know the sm-57 is a staple.


My ancient microphone kept disconnecting from my piano stand.

Price


It's a great value for money option that can be used for a wide range of applications.


In this price category this is the best choice, works well.


$99 - 107$ ish after taxes or something like that.


Don’t go cheaper than these or you’ll be back here soon buying a shure.

Competitiveness


The sm57 is a classic and is used by professionals all over the world.


I was looking into buying a sm7b, but this paired with the shure a81ws and shure a55m.


The shure sm57 is "the" most used mic in the world.


I'm sure there are other brands/mics out there that are better, but for the price, you can't beat this.
