This is my detailed comparison of the Shure SM57 and the AKG P170 for voice, guitar, and bass amp recording.

In this comparison, I look at unprocessed and processed audio using three preamps/channel strips - the Focusrite Scarlett 8i6, ART Voice Channel (Tube Preamp), and the DBX 286s. Using the three preamps, a compare voice, guitar amp, and bass recordings without processing so you can hear the character available from both the SM57 and P170. I also demonstrated the effect of both plugin and outboard processing to give you an idea of how these two legendary mics respond to Compression, EQ, and De-essing.

I wrap up with physical tests on both the SM57 and P170 for working distance, proximity, handling noise, background, and off-axis rejection.

After watching this comparison, you will have an understanding of where these two microphones popular for home, project, and professional studio recording might fit into your mic locker.

Thanks for checking out my comparison of the SM57 and P170!

Do This First:

To get the most out of your recording or streaming space, I recommend sound treatment including acoustic absorption panels. This is the single biggest way to improve your audio before investing in other gear. You can make your own, or I highly recommend GIK Acoustics as they manufacture some of the best quality panels available at an excellent value.
