All kidding aside... are you saying the new ones are brighter or
harsher than the old ones? Was this a gradual change, or was there some
major design change that did it, and when?



** Shure have made no major design changes to the SM57 or 58.

You may be confusing them it with the Beta 57/58 or Beta 57/58A models. The Beta 58 had no transformer and numerous other changes but was not a success and was soon dropped to be replaced by the Beta 58A.

My mic is about 40 years old.


** The foam sock under the grill and disk on top of the capsule turn into crumbles a lot sooner that that. Take a good look.
