Shure PGA57-LC Cardioid dynamic instrument microphone - less cable
Product Overview
The Shure PGA57 cardioid dynamic instrument microphone is built for amplified instruments and acoustic drums in live sound and commercial AV applications. Its cardioid pattern focuses on the on-axis source while rejecting bleed from nearby instruments and monitors. This LC configuration ships without a cable, letting AV integrators specify cable length and connector type for each installation or stage.
Product Description
The PGA57 clearly reproduces amplified instrument and acoustic drum sources in performance and recording. It is a frequent choice for miking guitar and bass cabinets, snare drums, and percussion in house of worship platforms, multi-purpose rooms, and broadcast stages. The tailored dynamic cartridge captures instrument transients at close range, while the cardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis sound for cleaner isolation in dense stage setups. A rugged construction and integrated stand adapter support repeated setup and teardown in touring and commercial AV deployments. As a less-cable model, it integrates into existing cable infrastructure without a fixed lead.
Key Features
- Cardioid Dynamic Capsule — The tailored cardioid dynamic cartridge captures amplified instruments and drums cleanly while rejecting off-axis bleed.
- Wide Frequency Response — A 70 Hz to 15 kHz response reproduces instrument tone with clarity across the usable range.
- Close-Miking Performance — Designed for guitar cabinets, bass amps, snare drums, and percussion at close range.
- Durable Construction — Rugged build quality supports repeated setup and teardown in touring and commercial AV use.
- Integrated Stand Adapter — The microphone mounts quickly to standard stands for fast deployment on stage.
- Less-Cable Configuration — Shipping without a cable lets integrators specify cable runs for each installation.
