Shure SM57-LC Instrument Microphone 2-Pack XLR

The Shure SM57-LC is an industry-standard dynamic microphone that has earned its place on stages and in studios around the world. With a cardioid polar pattern that isolates the target sound source while minimizing background noise, the SM57 excels at close-miking guitar amplifiers, snare drums, toms, brass, woodwinds, and vocals. Its contoured frequency response, ranging from 40 Hz to 15,000 Hz, features a carefully shaped presence peak that brings out the detail and attack of instruments without sounding harsh. This two-pack provides a pair of matched SM57s, ideal for engineers who need multiple microphones for drum kits, stereo techniques, or simultaneous amp and DI recording.

Built with Shure's legendary durability, the SM57 features a pneumatic shock mount system that reduces handling noise and a hardened steel mesh grille that withstands the rigors of touring and daily studio use. As a passive dynamic microphone, it requires no phantom power or batteries, making setup straightforward with any XLR-equipped mixer, audio interface, or preamp. The SM57 handles extremely high sound pressure levels without distortion, making it equally at home in front of a cranked amplifier or a thunderous snare hit. Its versatility and dependability have made it a fixture in professional audio for decades.
