Excellent for acoustic and electric instruments as well as for vocals, the extremely versatile Beta 57A dynamic microphone provides optimal warmth and presence. The Beta 57A maintains a true supercardioid pattern throughout its frequency range. This insures high gain before feedback, maximum isolation from other sound sources, and minimum off-axis tone coloration. A completely new grille design lets you take better advantage of proximity effect. The Beta 57A is an exceptionally versatile microphone. Typical applications include drums, guitar amplifiers, brass, woodwinds and vocals.
Tailored frequency response provides drums, guitars, vocals, and horns with studio quality sound
Uniform supercardioid pattern for high gain-before-feedback and superior rejection of off-axis sound
Hardened steel mesh grille that facilitates use of proximity effect and resists wear and abuse
Neodymium magnet for high signal-to-noise ratio output
Advanced pneumatic shock mount system that minimizes transmission of mechanical noise and vibration
The SM57 is undoubtedly the most famous stage and studio microphone in history and for good reason. The Beta 57 aims to improve on that reputation and in most regards it does so. However I feel if you are in the market for this type of microphone the Sennheiser e945 has a far more focused sound with better detail and a more true reproduction of audio. So in my opinion these are great mics but I would pay the extra and get the Sennheiser e945 having compared both on stage and in the studio. If you need the sound of an SM57 buy an SM57, the extra cost of the Beta57 is not reflected in the product.
