## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Great mic but I have a few advisers for potential buyers - What an amazing cost effective microphone which sounds amazing! - I did however return mine as it didn’t really work with my voice . Be aware if your a streamer or podcaster or contented with a face cam , unless you are prepared to be eating the mic , it’s not the mic for you. I found even with the gain at about 90% on my scarlet interface , I had to have the capsule about an inch away from the mic to pick me up clearly. So a condenser mic is probably better suited for you for that. If your looking for an SM7B type of sound, but can’t quite afford the SM7B - get the SM57, A55M, A2WS - a bit of processing and you’ll get that sound. I have an SM7B , which I love! And comparing to the SM57 and that there is a £300 price difference I think the SM57 is awesome. Although like I mentioned earlier you have to eat the SM57 for it to pick you up clearly, whereas the SM7B is more forgiving as to how close you have to have it to your mouth. Overall , I know I returned mine as I didn’t like how it sounded with my voice , if your looking for great audio for vocal and streaming join the SM57 with the A55M shockmount and A2WS windscreen and a decent usb interface and you’ll be away !
Review: Ubiquitous - I'm not a fan of this mic on electric guitar cabs (prefer condensers and fuller range dynamics to this), but this does shine on percussive sounds, acoustic guitar, and experimental impulse response creation duties.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, does this mike come with a usb connection?**
A: No, this is XLR only.

**Q: Is this suitable for hand held harmonica**
A: Hello, you can use SM57 as hand held harmonica microphone. Another option would be the popular 520DX that has a raspier, more vintage sound.
Regards,
Sascha from Shure

**Q: Is this a good mic for recording from a guitar amplifier?**
A: I think it’s a great dynamic microphone for most purposes, so long as your positioning is right. If you use it to pick up output from an amp, it should be fine.

**Q: Plastic cover loose over capsule**
A: Hi, the rotating grill was part of the original industrial design on the model 545. The design provided a reliable method to securely mount a grill to the end of the mic. The rotation was simply a "side-effect" of the mounting method.
Regards,
Sascha from Shure
