it's just a habit that i'm shure many people have.
Haha. Are you Shure about that?

Nope. If you take off the 58's grill, it is not now a 57. If you take both grills off, then yeah they're they same.Brilliant!!!
Actually, I'd pick the 58 because you can always take the grille off, but you can't add it on a 57. Its the shape of that grille that changes the sound, not the pop filtering. Just to disagree! (and its what I did)
Again, no. A 58 without its grill is the same as a 57...without its grill.They are the same mic, the grill is the only difference. A 58 without the grill IS a 57.
You just resurrected an argument from 5 years ago. Congratulations for winning "Necro-post of the Week"!bump. Get over it.

Also, you can add a pop filter to a 57, effectively adding the 58's grill, more or less. In short, a 57 with a pop filter (or perhaps even without depending on the specifics) is a better vocal mic than a 58 is for most instrumentation, at least based on what I have learned. ie the 57 is the better overall mic for instrumentation AND vocals, esp if you're recording. But of course it's all subjective..

I've been doing some casual shopping, will need for mostly vocals but perhaps some instruementation, recording only, so it's a 57 for me.
Holy crap! I don't think he's been here in 3-4 years.Oh boy,...just wait until Blue Bear sees this
It seems Gregg couldn't find anything in a current thread that he could soundly thrash any misconceptions out of.... so he went back 5 years. Lol.

I own eight 57's and only one 58. I would go for the 57.ty ty :bows:
I am interested in 57 vs 58 discussion though, as I'm kicking around a mic to buy.
Check this out a song recorded with only 57's https://www.reddit.com/r/WeAreTheMusicMakers/comments/1w7b7x/recorded_a_song_using_only_sm57s_to_see_what_it/
What do you think...
You're either far more heavily invested in making music than me or make lots more money. "Some" of both? This t'aint no orchestra setup I'm going for. It's just me.Neither are very expensive. Get some of both.
