transforms up???

If you do that, it changes the loading on the capsule and the frequency
response changes dramatically. In the eighties it was a very popular
thing to do, and a lot of studios would have a few specially-marked
SM-57s with the transformer removed.

Scott,


Have you a-b'ed a made-in-Mexico 57 with the USA made model it replaced?
Am curious if you've heard or seen any differences.

I have an old school engineer client that prefers earlier USA 57's with
the different writing on them, think they are pre 1983 or so. Says they
are the best ones.

I own a bunch of 57's, but there is one that is my fave, and it's from
1987. It's also the newest one I own.
