The SM-57 and SM-58 have the same capsule inside, but sound totally
different.
I find the SM-58 dull because of the foam ball, but the SM-57 is a
remarkably
useful mike.


Scott,
I know this has been discussed in length, but in your opinion would taking
the foam out of a 58 make it a 57 (outside of the physical design)?

You have to remove the metal grille too, but yes, if you do this it sounds
pretty much like an SM-57. However, with the grille removed it's very delicate
and easy to break.

Still, when the rental company gives you a box of SM-58s and you need a mike
for a guitar cabinet, it's a good plan.
