The Shure SM57 is the most popular all round instrument mic in the world. It's most commonly used to mic up snare drums, toms, guitar amps and often brass instruments - you even see some vocalists using it (female vocalists often prefer the tone of the SM57 to the SM58). Although it can be used for miking up quiter instruments, like an acoustic guitar, you'll generally get better results if you use a condenser mic, which is much more sensitive than an SM57.

Here's what Shure say about the SM57

The legendary Shure SM57 microphone is exceptional for musical instrument pickup and vocals. With its bright, clean sound and contoured frequency response, the SM57 is ideal for live sound reinforcement and recording. It has an extremely effective cardioid pickup pattern which isolates the main sound source while minimizing background noise. In the studio, it is excellent for recording drums, guitar, and woodwinds. The SM57's outstanding performance, legendary reliability, and diversity of application make this workhorse the choice of performers, producers, and sound engineers worldwide.

Shure SM57 Dynamic Instrument Microphone Specifications

Capsule Type:	Dynamic Excellent as live mics, percussion mics and guitar cabinet mics, thanks to their rugged construction and general indestructibility. Less sensitive than condenser mics so need to be close to sound source for best results.
Polar Pattern: The polar pattern tells you which directions the mic picks up sound from. Cardioid mics pick up sound from the front, but reject sound coming from the back of the microphone. Omni microphones pick up sound equally-loudly from all directions.	Cardioid Heart-shaped pattern that is most sensitive at the front and sides, whilst rejecting sound from the back of the microphone. A highly directional pattern that is great for live use as it's resistant to feedback and isolates from unwanted ambient sound.
Brand:	Shure

How do I use instant finance?

It's simple! Just add the products you want to your basket and click the "Checkout" button in your basket. Go through the checkout process and tick the "Finance" option under "Select Your Payment Method". You can then choose which finance term you'd like to apply for, and change your deposit if you wish.

At the end of the checkout you'll be taken to the V12 Finance web site. This is where your finance application is processed. Assuming your application is accepted you'll be able to place your deposit and confirm your order right there.

Then, your order will come through to Andertons and we'll send you the goods. Get approval before 3pm and we'll send your order out the same working day (stock permitting) for next working day delivery!

Who can apply for finance?

You must: spend over £300, be at least 18 years of age, have been a UK resident for 3 years or more, be able to make repayments by Direct Debit, be in regular employment (minimum of 16 hours per week) including self-employment, or in permanent residence with your partner who is in regular employment.

Buy Now Pay Later

If you choose one of our Buy Now Pay Later options, you can either choose to pay your loan back in full before the end of the initial, interest-free term, or spread your loan out over a longer period, up to 42 months.

If you pay your loan back before the end of the initial, interest free term, no interest needs to be paid. A one off settlement fee (£29 or £39 depending on which BNPL option you choose) to end the loan agreement will apply.

If you have not paid this sum in full by that date, interest at the rate specified will be charged from the date we told you your agreement was live. After this, you are free to settle the loan at any time without a settlement fee.

If you have made any partial repayments, interest will be charged only on the amount of credit that remains unpaid.

Please refer to the representative example above for detailed information.
