  • This is a rare instance of a perfect condition Shure SM57 randomly dying at a gig. In this video, I dive into the problems and learn a few things about the SM57 on the way. The SM57 is a very good mic and known for its rugged construction, that being said, they obviously do fail from time to time, and this video shows a problem that has developed that basically renders the microphone ready for the trash bin.

    I just fixed one of mine that had a similar problem that occurred after a drop. When I removed the capsule, I could see that one of the hair thin wires was touching the metal nut and shorting it out. I took a toothpick and gently pulled it away from the nut and now it is working.

    it was the phantom mic cable wire cutting fiend. I've had a problem with that little swine several times. Tonight I attempted some extra percussive sounds and plugged in the trusty old sm57, only to find the wire inside the SLR was severed. Not quite as bad as turning up for a field recording vocal session, only to find a wire inside the sm57 was cut. I had to perform the entire thing with my thumb holding the circuit in place. On the front seat of a 25 year old range rover classic. Those were the days. Never again. Igot the number though. Bring back 'Lover lover', priority one, all other priorities are rescinded.
