Outside of work, Scott is an accomplished musician and producer with many independent CD credits writing, playing, and producing. 0000018001 00000 n The SM57 has a cardioid polar pickup while the Beta 57A has a supercardioid pattern, so while the SM57 could be shared between two vocalists, the Beta 57A wouldn’t work as well. Recorded classic rock, blues, jazz, and clean tones with a Fender Player’s Strat through a Fender Super-Sonic 1x12 combo. I've never heard another one like it. A little more highs and lows. If banished to our favorite desert island, we wouldn’t just take one over the other. Especially good for smaller faces, i.e. Shure’s Beta line offers various “improvements” to the mics in the SM line, featuring subtle changes across the microphone specs. 0000251363 00000 n hello guys I don't think you can say this mic is better than the other mic because that depend on the source. As its frequency response suggests, the SM57 captured more low end in our sounds than the Beta57a. Both mics are ruggedly constructed, and years of abuse on stages and in studios worldwide are a testament to the manufacturing quality present. Beta 58 is OK, more output and better sound than standard, but I actually prefer the beta 57, it is smoother on top, and I really like the small form factor. 0000006739 00000 n With Shure’s Beta57a available for an additional $40 over the classic SM57, we thought it was time to revisit the mics in our studio and ask the question, “Would we be better served using Beta57s instead of SM57s?”. 0000013343 00000 n 0000022588 00000 n To my ears it's very near exactly the same sounding as that old road dog trick of removing the transformer from the 57, but of course with higher output. The SM57 frequency response ranges from 40 Hz to 15 kHz, whereas the Beta57a covers from 50 Hz to 16 kHz. With good positioning I find I have very little trouble making the guitars sit in the mix right. After you watch, check out Sweetwater.com today for all your music instrument and pro audio needs! The SM57 was extremely easy to work with whether miking a drum kit, guitar amp, or being used as a vocal mic (on a stand), though it did pick up more noise from the occasional collision with the mic stand than our Beta57a. Heck, we might just ask Shure to start writing some of our tutorials! Phone Hours | Though the differences are somewhat subtle in the specs department, differing primarily in the very low and very high ends of the spectrum, they are absolutely noticeable in our recorded audio sources. Grille: The Beta 58A has a hardened grille, which makes it more difficult to dent. While the SM57 will pick up some sound to each side, it rejects almost all sound hitting it from directly behind. 0000006671 00000 n 0000007458 00000 n Audix i-5 The Beta series mics are another story, though. If this is your first Shure SM58 dynamic microphone, then congratulations! 0000273726 00000 n But with the transformer you don't have to worry about what you're plugging it into.

Same with regular 58, I never use them unless specifically requested, and I always cringe at the inferior sound, especially through several hundred feet of snake. First, the Shure SM57 and SM58 — they are essentially the same mics as each other. About the Author About the Author Marc Henshall. Sonically, both microphones exhibit extremely similar frequency response throughout most of their range, however it is at the high and low end where the microphones distinguish themselves. Our snare had a brighter “crack” and our guitar tones had more sparkle (cleans) and more clarity (heavy tones). What really blew us away, however, was the combination of these two mics. It’s one of the most common questions that we’re asked here at Sweetwater — what’s the difference between the Shure SM58 and Beta58 handheld vocal microphones? Get Directions | 0000006292 00000 n The online MP3s (above) do not demonstrate the differences between mics nearly as well as the uncompressed audio samples in our actual Pro Tools LE session. Audio-Technica ATM650 0000001804 00000 n The Beta 58a and Beta 57a do not share the same mic capsule as each other — they are uniquely engineered products. 0000018023 00000 n Bono use the Beta 58a everywhere including in studio recording because it fit perfectly his voice. Grille: The Beta 58A has a hardened grille, which makes it more difficult to dent. Being music makers ourselves, we love geeking out on all things gear. Bono use the Beta 58a everywhere including in studio recording because it fit perfectly his voice. When used in a live sound setting, this distinction should influence your choice of microphone because of issues related to bleed from other instruments, PA and monitor speakers, etc. Learn More. Hyper-Cardioid: Similar to the Super-Cardioid, but picks up a slightly narrower range of audio in front of the mic and a larger range of sound hitting it from the rear. The SM57 was designed for recording instruments and that’s why it has a smaller grille, because pops and winds are not a concern.
