Shure SM57 vs Shure SM58
The SM57 and SM58 are the two best-selling dynamic microphones in history, and they share the same capsule. The difference is what each one is designed for.
Cuál elegir
Both use the same Unidyne III capsule, so their core sound is almost identical. The SM58 adds a spherical grille with a built-in pop filter for live vocals: it softens plosives and proximity effect. The SM57 has a flatter, more compact grille, ideal for close-miking instruments and amplifiers. For singing, the SM58; for instruments and amps, the SM57.
