Shure SM57 Dynamic Microphone
$10/day$30 / week (3× day)
A cardioid dynamic microphone with a 40Hz–15kHz response and an integral pneumatic shock mount — no phantom power required, and a capsule that shrugs off high SPL and rough handling.
When it’s the right call
The industry-standard workhorse dynamic — guitar amps, snare, percussion, and rough-and-ready spot sound anywhere a delicate mic would be at risk.
Where to set it up
Any mic stand or clamp, close to the source (it rejects off-axis sound well), XLR to your recorder or interface — no phantom power needed.
Get the most out of it
- Practically indestructible — the safe choice outdoors and on loud sets
- Angle it slightly off-axis to tame harsh, spiky sources
- Its proximity effect adds warmth as you move in close
