You likely don't need an introduction or description of this mic. Truth be told, these words are probably superfluous and you're already adding this to your cart without reading the description. But if you're not familiar with the Shure SM57 microphone, let's just start with perhaps its biggest accolade: this cardioid dynamic mic has been on the US presidential podium for over 30 years! They can choose literally any mic in existence, and this is their pick. Why, you might ask? Well, it has a bright, clean sound and carefully contoured presence rise, which makes it ideal for live sound. Also, its cardioid pickup pattern isolates your sound source while minimizing background noise.

But it's not just for live sound. It also is a star in the studio, where it shines for recording drums, guitar, and woodwinds. Its outstanding performance, incredible reliability, and diversity of applications make this workhorse the choice of performers, producers, and sound engineers all over the world. We think it makes for an especially great hand-held vocal mic because of its pneumatic shockmount syste that isolates the capsule from the vast majority of handling noise.

You really can't go wrong by renting this microphone. It is a star performer in nearly any application. Just ask POTUS. They'll tell you.
