Frequently Asked Questions

The D57 offers a more detailed, brighter sound than the SM57, lacking the SM57's characteristic 'mud'. The SM57 is more forgiving and versatile, while the D57 is a specialist.
The MKV 87 mount is well-made and functional, but for very aggressive playing or frequent travel, a heavier-duty clamp might be preferable to prevent loosening.
While it *can* be used on floor toms, its smaller diaphragm and focused frequency response are best suited for the tighter, higher-pitched sounds of snare and rack toms; a larger diaphragm mic will generally provide a fuller floor tom tone.
