Shure PG57 XLR - CARDIOID MICROPHONE FOR INSTRUMENTS

(This text is machine translated) The PG57 is a versatile microphone for amplified or acoustic instruments. Some recommended applications are the pickup of guitar amps and pickup of brass and saxophones. For guitar amps, depending on the placement of the microphone, you can choose the desired response. Placing it 2.5cm away from the speaker, centered directly in front of the speaker cone, gives maximum attack and bass emphasis. Placing it 2.5cm further away, at the edge of the speaker cone itself, gives a sharper attack and greater high frequency response. By placing it 15-30cm away, directly in front of the speaker cone itself, you get a medium attack and a balanced sound. Instead, to amplify wind instruments such as brass and saxophones with a location 15-60cm away from the instrument and directly in front of the bell we obtain the limpid and clear sound typical of these instruments.
