Shure SM57
The legendary, yet inexpensive Studio Mic of all time. If you ask nearly anyone who runs a professional recording studio, "Do you have a Shure SM57?" they might look at you and ask, "are you are serious?

Everybody who runs a pro recording studio has at least one Shure SM57 and most PA companies will have half a dozen. The reason is that that will make a decent job of recording most things and really for the snare drum it's the recording microphone of choice over mics costing 10 times as much.

Shure SM57 review
If you're in the market for an instrumental microphone, the Shure SM57 is a great jumping-off point. For $100, you're getting a die-cast steel mic with an integrated pneumatic shock mount for countering vibration-induced movement.
Pros:
- No phantom power required
- Die-cast steel construction
- Great off-axis noise reduction
Cons:
- Cost

"Great Deal on a bunch of Microphones"
Great deal on a bunch of microphones. I had to get a bunch of mics together for a 5 piece acoustic band, I only owned a SM 57 and a couple of SM58's. It's not cheap, but for a full bands worth of mics that are road tested and decent sounding, it's pretty reasonable.

Pros:
- Great sound, Great build quality
- .
Cons:
