Shure SM57 & SM58 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone Instrument Vocal Set

The Shure SM57 and SM58 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone Set brings together two of the most widely used and respected microphones in professional audio. The SM57 is a cardioid dynamic instrument microphone with a frequency response of 40Hz to 15kHz, a contoured response curve that emphasizes the midrange presence needed to cut through a mix. Its compact grille design allows extremely close placement on sound sources — a critical advantage when miking guitar amplifier cabinets, snare drums, toms, and brass instruments where isolation and detail matter. Studios and live engineers have relied on the SM57 for decades precisely because of its consistent, predictable performance across a wide range of sources.

The SM58 complements the SM57 with a design optimized for vocal performance. Its frequency response of 50Hz to 15kHz includes a shaped midrange presence peak that enhances vocal clarity, while the built-in spherical wind and pop filter reduces handling noise and plosives during handheld use. Like the SM57, the SM58 uses a cardioid polar pattern to reject off-axis sound and minimize feedback on stage. Both microphones feature Shure's pneumatic shock mount system to reduce handling vibration, and their rugged steel mesh grilles and cast metal construction are built to survive the demands of touring. Each microphone in the set comes with its own stand adapter and zippered carrying case, providing ready-to-go protection and mounting hardware.
