The Shure SM57LC Shure SM57 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone
is known as perhaps the best all around microphone you can buy. This thing was introduced in 1967 and it’s still alive and kicking to this day! With its rugged and superior design, it can be thrown around and handle physical and acoustic beatings. It’s used for recording a range of musical instruments- particularly ones with high SPLs (sound pressure levels) like drums and guitars. It’s also flexible enough to record vocals. Frequency Curve
As you can see you have a drop in the low end frequencies and a boost in the higher frequency range adding clarity to your recordings.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
Microphones have different polar patterns. The pattern plots the best directional response of the mic you’re using. The 57 in particular has a cardioid pattern. Keep this in mind for proper mic placement
