Shure PG Alta PGA57 Cardioid Dynamic Instrument Mic

Professional Sound for Instruments on a Budget

The Shure PG Alta PGA57 Cardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone is a professional-quality microphone designed to deliver clear, reliable sound for amplified and acoustic instruments at an affordable price point. Ideal for musicians and sound engineers across Australia, the PGA57 excels in capturing guitar amps, snare drums, toms, and other instruments in live performances and studio recordings. With its updated industrial design featuring a black metallic finish and grille, it offers an unobtrusive visual presence and legendary Shure durability.

Clear and Focused Audio Capture

The PGA57 features a cardioid polar pattern that isolates the sound source while rejecting unwanted off-axis noise, ensuring clean audio with minimal feedback in loud environments. Its tailored frequency response is optimized for instruments, providing crisp reproduction of amplified sources like guitar cabinets and the punchy attack of snare drums. As a dynamic microphone, it requires no phantom power, making it compatible with a wide range of mixers, PA systems, and recording interfaces. The PGA57 is inspired by the iconic SM57, offering professional-caliber performance for budget-conscious users.

Durable and Versatile Design

Built with Shure’s renowned quality, the PGA57 boasts a rugged metal construction and a hardened steel mesh grille to withstand the rigors of live and studio use. The included swivel adapter allows for easy mounting and precise positioning on mic stands, while the zippered pouch ensures safe storage and transport. Available in two configurations—PGA57-LC (without cable) and PGA57-XLR (with a 15 ft XLR-to-XLR cable)—this microphone offers flexibility for various setups, from home studios to live stages.
