Tailored Frequency Response Captures Instruments Authentically

With a frequency response optimized for instrument miking, the SM57 captures the natural tone of instruments. Its contoured frequency profile brings out the clarity and detail in drums, guitar amps, horns and percussion. The SM57's signature sound complements the character of instruments, reproducing the snap of snare drums, the punch of bass drums, the bite of electric guitars and the resonance of acoustic instruments with professional quality.

Tight Cardioid Pattern Provides Isolation

The SM57's tight cardioid polar pattern focuses on the source while reducing background noise, ensuring excellent isolation. Its directional pickup is ideal for close miking instruments on stage, allowing you to achieve maximum gain before feedback. In the studio, the SM57's off-axis sound rejection helps capture the true tone of instrument by rejecting ambient room sound. Position it to capture the instrument itself while minimizing the bleed from other nearby sound sources.
