Frequently Asked Questions

It's often considered a benchmark; while some mics offer a slightly broader frequency response, the SM57's consistent quality and durability are hard to beat for the price.
It's serviceable for vocals, especially for genres like rock or blues, but a condenser mic would likely offer more detail and a more 'polished' sound.
The 'LC' signifies that it's a low-cost version, meaning it's been manufactured with slightly less expensive components, but it still retains the core SM57 sonic character.
