    Pros: solid, versatile performance for under $100 new

    Pros: Extremely valuable, inexpenive, quality microphone. 
    Cons: I have nothing bad to say about this microphone. 

    Summary: This microphone is a workhorse. If I needed to choose just one microphone to keep in my mic cabinet it would be this one. You can drop this, throw it, step on it or whatever and it will perform at 100% all the time. One of my instructors at school has ... read more

    Summary: The Shure SM57 has came out ahead and is leading the pack of microphones everywhere. This unidirectional microphone speaks for itself the second you hook it up, giving out a clear, unpunched, sound that impresses not only me, but thousands of bands, ... read more

    Natural, warm feel
    great for string instruments

    cardioid patterned
    Cons: not good for drum recording
    can get a little messy on the low end

    Pros: Ultimate in versatility and reliability: everything a regular workday mic should be.
    Cons: None yet.

    Summary: I use two of these in purely studio applications, less often for vocals than instruments, but a very reliable, durable mic that couldn't deliver more if it cost four times as much. So far, I haven't let these out of the studio for gig work, and I
