Comments about Shure SM57-LC Microphone:
I've been professionally recording rock, country, folk, blues, etc. for almost 20years. When newbies ask me what mic to choose I always respond with the same answer. Get a couple of SM-57s! If you have a full mic cabinet like mine you may find a better mic choice for a particular situation (and a bunch of bad choices) but an SM-57 is never a wrong choice. Start here with a couple of SM-57s and build your collection around them.

Comments about Shure SM57-LC Microphone:

Comments about Shure SM57-LC Microphone:
Versatile, and great for everything. You don't really know how good the SM57 is until you run it thru a great pre amp. But even with a cheap pre, the shear utility of this mic is amazing. Acoustic guitar, amps, drums, voice, horns, whatever.
