Sm57 broken?

OK, first, yes, condensers are always higher output than dynamics, often MUCH higher. Second, if you have to crank your input that high, sounds like the 57 mic is hashed. So you're saying it's the same channel of the board that your using to test, and the condenser's loud, and the 57 is super super weak? And the same mic-cable, too right?

Well, the 57 should not be as low output as you're saying.

Time to buy a new 57. While you're at it, you might as well get two.

Yes, I'm using the same channel and the same cable. I just can't seem to remember if I started thinking the Sm57 was quiet after I got the condenser, or if it really was much more quiet. I'm leaning towards the sm57 have changed though, 'cause I have used it to record a song and now I can't do it, 'cause there's just too much noise at the level I need to crank it to to get any sound at all.

Huh?

Here is info on Shure's warranty/service policies.
If you bought it (domestically) within 2 years (of the manufacture date) then it is still within warranty.

But like most of the other people said on here, it may not be the mic.

I can't seem to get to that website. I'm in Sweden and it doesn't seem like they have a swedish website either. I'll try to look for another european site I guess.
Thanks!

Sorry, didn't know you were in Sweden, that was for domestic (american that is) only.

Here's some Shure info for Sweden. Of course I can't read it, but hopefully it will be helpful.
