Shure Sm57 Specification Pdf Shure sm57 specification pdf Continue The Shure SM57 The Shure SM57 microphone is a slightly cardioid dynamic microphone made by Shure Incorporated and is usually found in sound reinforcement and studio recording. It is one of the best-selling microphones in the world. It is widely used in amplified music and has been used for speeches by every American president since its introduction in 1965. In 2004, in honor of the four decades of solid and reliable performance, he was inducted into the first Hall of Fame of the TEC Awards. [1] SM57's background may have been traced back to 1937, when bull engineer Benjamin Bauer developed the first directional microphone of a single element, Unidyne, which had a cardoid collection pattern. In 1959, another bull engineer, Ernie Siler, promoted the art of microphone design significantly with the Unidyne III. [1] Seiler examined the torture of Unidyne III during three years of research and development, producing the SM series of rough and reliable ox mic capsules. [1] The SM represents a studio microphone; Siller was a proponent of classical music and expected the SM57 to be used for orchestras. Because he loathed rock music, the TEC Foundation said it was ironic that the microphone had become central to rock music. Features that the SM57 uses the same capsule as the popular SM58. Like the SM58, the SM57 is equipped with an XLR connector and features balanced output, helping to minimize electrical buzzing and noise gathering. According to Shore, the frequency response extends from 40 Hz (Hz) to 15 kHz. The SM57 is manufactured in the United States, Mexico and China. Shure A2WS is an accessory windshield for the SM57 that seats wind noise and pop sounds and protects the microphone capsule. Use Shure SM57 microphones with A2WS windshiolds mounted on former U.S. President Barack Obama's Lettern. The microphone set (two SM57 microphones, windscreens, microphone stands, and right-angle black XLR cables) is called the VIP/high-profile microphone kit. SM57 is a popular choice of musicians due to its robust construction and ability to work well with devices that produce high sound pressure levels, such as percussion and electric guitars. The School of Audio Engineering (SAE) recommends SM57 (along with other models and CD) for four roles in drums: Drum Kick, Trap Drum, Tom Rack and Tom Floor. [3] Microphone collection format reduces the collection of unwanted background sound and acoustic feedback creation. SM57s were also a staple when reinforcing sound from guitar protector. Every American president since Lyndon B. Johnson has made speeches through SM57. In 1965, he became the locomotive microphone of the White House Communications Agency, the year of its presentation, and stayed Due to its popularity, the SM57 has been frequently counterfeited by manufacturers in China and Thailand. [5] Shure Distribution UK reports that SM57, SM58, Beta 57A and Beta 58A are their microphones that are typically fake. In 2006, Shore campaigned against the trafficking of fake microphones. In 2008, soul singer Raphael Saadik used the microphone while recording his album The Way I See It, condensing and distortion of the quality of his smooth voice in an attempt to replicate the Motown sound of the 1960s.

There are some differences between the two microphones. Here are the most relevant ones: polar pattern: beta 57A=supercardioid; SM57 = Cardioid Output Level: Beta 57A is 4dB warmer than noise handling SM57: Beta 57A has less noise handling than the SM57 grille: Beta 57A has a hardened grille that is very difficult to impair the frequency response: Beta 57A has expanded to a low end and back up compared to the SM57 SM58 and SM57 use the same microphone element, Unidyne III. The only difference between these two models is the bars design. The scourge design affects the high frequency response, especially over 8,000 Hz. The SM57 grille design allows for a greater proximity effect because the microphone's diaphragm position is closer to the sound source. Remove the ball grille The SM58 and it will be more similar to the SM57 in its low frequency response. yes, it's called RK244G. Please contact our service department for further instructions.

SOUNDING PART.zip - Sounding part of the thesis: D. Scarlatti - Sonata D minor K 141, V. Trojan - The Collapsed Cathedral SOUND SAMPLES.zip – Sound samples Declaration I declare that this thesis has been solely the result of my own work. Milan Řehák 2 Abstract In this thesis I discuss, analyse and intend to answer the question: What is the best way to capture the sound of the acoustic accordion? It was my desire to explore this theme that led me to this research, and I believe that this question is important to many other accordionists as well. From the very beginning, I wanted the thesis to be not only an academic material but also that it can be used as an instruction manual, which could serve accordionists and others who are interested in this subject, to delve deeper into it, understand it and hopefully get answers to their questions about this subject. The thesis contains five main chapters: Amplifying of the accordion at live events, Processing of the accordion sound, Recording of the accordion in a studio - the specifics of recording of the accordion, Specific recording solutions and Examples of recording and amplifying of the accordion in practice of other accordion players, and two recordings: D. Scarlatti - Sonata D minor K 141, V. Trojan - The Collasped Cathedral.

It sings about work and poverty, about love and loneliness, about bravery and fear, and it tells stories. Some stories are fun, some are poignant and some strike to the heart of who we are and who we aspire to be. Those of us who play this music have a responsibility to pass along its lessons to those who are ready eager to listen and learn.” Make it happen. www.discmakers.com Contents S The Musician’s Guide to Recording Presented by Music Player Network and SUZI ROK WORK IT! 4 Make Your Studio a Better Creative Space WRITE IT! 8 Songwriting Tips From the Hitmakers PRODUCE IT! 12 Top Producers Share Their Studio Secrets TRACK IT! 17 Recording Stunning Piano Tracks HAGGARD UL 24 40 Paths to Recording Great Guitar Tones PA 30 Capturing Beautiful Acoustic Guitar Sounds 35 Recording Lead Vocals For Maximum Impact 40 A Comprehensive Guide to Recording Bass 50 Capturing the Boom and Bang of Drums FROM DISC MAKERS 48 Why the CD Is Still a Crucial Music Media For Indie Artists 49 Choosing a CD Manufacturer MIX IT! 57 34 Steps to Crafting Dynamite Mixes MASTER IT! 61 Home-Studio Mastering Tips & Techniques S MARKET IT!
