Re: shure sm57 mic

Can we get this misconception off the internet please? Anyone who's A/B'd these mics with the grill off knows they are different.

Also, I have a feeling he may be misinterpreting Unidyne as unidirectional...?

I can't find it now but I seem to recall this information coming from Shure

Re: shure sm57 mic

I have a collection of mics. The 57 is a great amp mic. The 58 sounds better than the Sennheiser 835 on my voice, but the 835 is a higher output. I would start with a 57 and a 58 and go from there. Some people like the AKG D-5 and others like the Electrovoice 767 while others like the Shure Beta 57 and Beta 58 for vocals. It really comes down to the right tool for the job. There are many great mics in this price range. Good Luck.
