This is an authentic early‑1980s Shure SM57 featuring the highly sought‑after Unidyne III capsule and "Made in U.S.A." markings. These U.S.-built SM57s are known for their exceptional build quality, smoother top end, and classic tone that many engineers prefer over modern production models. They’ve become increasingly collectible as original U.S.-made units continue to disappear from the market.
Included:
- Original Shure vinyl pouch
- Original Shure mic clip
History & Condition:
- One‑owner microphone — purchased new in 1981 from Arnold & Morgan Music Co. in Dallas, TX
- Fully tested, fully functional, and sounds fantastic
- Shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with 40+ years of careful use
Shipping:
Fast, secure, and fully insured shipping. Packed with care.
