Shure SM58 & SM57 Mike's Ultimate Microphone Shootout

[LightUpTheEyes]

Broke my sm-57 when it took a hit while micing a snare drum. Only had it for a year or so.

Regardless of hard durable the outer components, the internals are still susceptible to shock from impact. I was a bit disappointed it didn't live up to it's reputation for me. Regardless, I love shure, I love the 57,58, the srh440s I have, and every shure product I've come into contact with. I'll buy shure time and time again, but don't expect these mics to be invincible, take care off all your equipment.

Stick in a brick of C-4. If it survives I'll be a believer....

[Leono182]

hohoho poor microphone

[GawdGood]

This will made me decide to buy it, i def want bullet proof mics!

[miyamuki]

You guys are real nonsense crazy !!! hahahahahhaha i love you guys.

[punkeratheart]

Urr, we done shot this here mic and she still a workin! Why would you use any other mic?

Well, lets see, for starters, I don't shoot my mics, I sing in to them, put them in front of guitar cabs or bass cabs or drums....I had an SM58 that sounded like it had been shot, while my 100 dollar AKG condenser sounds way better for any application, especially mic'ing guitar cabs. I wouldn't use it for target practice, but I have plenty of empty beer bottles for that.

[jackwontknow1]

yeah but for recording, does it really matter which one??

[plaguesofwrath]

@jackwontknow1 No. Those microphones are literally identical except for the grille on the sm58. The grille dampens some of the high frequencies, but take it off and you have a 57. Frequency response, pickup patter, everything is identical.

[jackwontknow1]

@plaguesofwrath Thanks, just wanted to know =)

[LostLikeYou]

the shure 58a IS a better sounding one. if that one can get shot 5 times then its definitely most good.

[LostLikeYou]

its panned to the right tho

[DiCola119]

I could be mistaken, but isn't the inside of the grill 100% empty? Then theres a hole in the bottom where the built-in pop filter is, and then under that further into the handle is where to mic's true innards are. So these guys aren't proving much. Don't get me wrong, the mic WITHOUT A DOUBT the the toughest mass produced mic on the market. There are other videos on youtube where people microwave the SM58, drown it, drop it etc and it works great.

[AdamCroke]

That kinda hurts to watch!!

[wakeboarder860]

Well the grill that protects the mic is no where near the mic itself so you could punch holes through the sliver part all day long with any rifle but if you don't shoot through the body then the mic will function. Whereas on the sm57 the mic itself is practically exposed.

[CaneMajor]

That settles it! Damned near bullet proof!
