Shure PGA57-LC Cardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone (No Cable)

The Shure PGA57-LC Cardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone is engineered for professional-grade sound capture, making it an excellent choice for amplified instruments like guitar amps and acoustic drums in both live performances and studio recordings. Featuring a cardioid polar pattern, it excels at focusing on the sound source directly in front while minimizing unwanted background noise from the sides and rear. This ensures clear, isolated audio reproduction, even in noisy environments.

The microphone’s flat-response cartridge delivers accurate sound across its 50Hz-15kHz frequency range, capturing both deep lows and crisp highs for a balanced output. With a sturdy black metallic finish and grill, the PGA57-LC offers a sleek, unobtrusive design that blends seamlessly into any stage or studio setup. Its durable construction reflects Shure’s renowned quality, built to withstand the rigors of frequent use.

Designed for practicality, this microphone includes a stand adapter for easy mounting and a zipper pouch for secure storage and transport. However, it’s worth noting that the PGA57-LC does not come with a cable—unlike the PGA57-XLR model, which includes a 4.57m XLR cable—requiring users to purchase an XLR cable separately for connectivity. The microphone’s 150-ohm output impedance and 3-pin XLR connector ensure compatibility with most professional audio equipment, such as mixers and amplifiers.

Weighing just 0.62 lbs., the PGA57-LC is lightweight yet robust, making it a portable and reliable option for musicians and sound engineers. Whether you’re miking a guitar amp or recording drums, this microphone delivers exceptional performance with its tailored frequency response and noise-rejecting design.
