In the studio, it is excellent for recording drums, guitar, and woodwinds. For musical instruments or vocals, the SM57 is a consistent choice of professional performersGeneral Rules for UseAim the microphone toward the desired sound source (such as the talker, singer, or instrument) and away from unwanted sources.Place the microphone as close as practical to the desired sound source.Work close to the microphone for extra bass response.Use only one microphone to pick up a single sound source.Use the fewest number of microphones as practical.Keep the distance between microphones at least three times the distance from each microphone to its source.Place microphones as far as possible from reflective surfaces.Add a windscreen when using the microphone outdoors.Avoid excessive handling to minimize pickup of mechanical noise and vibration.Do not cover any part of the microphone grille with your hand, as this will adversely affect microphone performance.Specifications TypeDynamic (moving coil)Frequency Response40 to 15,000 HzPolar PatternCardioidOutput Impedance310 ΩSensitivity(@ 1 kHz, open circuit voltage)-56.0 dBV/Pa [1] (1.6 mV)PolarityPositive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3Net Weight0.284 kg (0.625 lbs)ConnectorThree-pin professional audio (XLR), maleHousingDark gray, enamel-painted, die-cast steel with a polycarbonate grille and a stainless steel screen
