This Microphone (Shure Beta 57A Microphone) is the best mic I have ever used. I can't say enough, everyone should try one of these. I have been playing lead guitar for 4o years. I use it to mic my 65 Fender Twin Reverb. It made my guitar sound full and clear and improved my sustain.

Very virsatlie ,clear sounding,Shalding from hum noise... beta57a is real stable gear! I also recomend AE6100 Audiotechnica.

SHURE BETA 57A PROFESSIONAL INSTRUMENT MICROPHONE When most people is the music or broadcasting busi

This is an excellent sounding microphone

None

Seems much more robust than a 'standard' SM57 and useful for vocals too, giving another option instead of always going to an SM58/Beta 58 while still offering performers that safe, familiar, feeling of using a Shure microphone.

I have this mic since the beginning of my career and it fits anywhere snare, vocals, xylophone, guitar, cymbal (close miking), bass amp, flute, _____________ <------ instrument of your choice . that versatility is his forte what!

It's a nice alternative to the SM-57 on snare. So far, I prefer it. I haven't used it on anything else. But it is the next step in my quest to transcend the SM-57 on snare, which is an unexpectedly difficult endeavor.

Durable

You can say this microphone is a great all around microphone and it is if you need it to be. It is definitely a microphone that you need to have around because you never know when you will have a use for it but I would not use it for vocals if you do not have to.
