Shure
Shure SM57
The Shure SM57 is a cardioid dynamic microphone designed for instrument and amplifier miking, with a contoured response that reproduces drums, percussion, brass, woodwind and guitar cabinets cleanly. Its uniform cardioid pattern isolates the intended source and reduces bleed from the rest of the stage, and it handles very high sound pressure levels without distress. A pneumatic shock-mount system cuts handling and stand-borne noise, and the die-cast steel body stands up to heavy daily use.
Available from Sound Creations Ltd Rwanda in Kigali, with manufacturer warranty and local after-sales support.
