  1. Pop filter is purchased separately, but TSG installs them by default

Usage

  1. Connect the SM57 microphone to an audio interface (e.g. Behringer X-Air XR18) or recorder via XLR cable. No phantom power required.
  2. Point the microphone towards the sound you wish to record.

For the best results, place the mic close to the source, on a stand.
