The SHURE SM57 is a legendary dynamic microphone known for its versatility, durability, and clean sound reproduction. A staple on stages and in studios worldwide, it’s ideal for guitar amps, drums (especially snare and toms), brass instruments, and even vocals in certain applications.

Dry Hire FAQS:

We use a ‘Show Day’ pricing model rather than daily or weekly rates. Each hire covers five phases: collection, build, show, de-rig, and return. For multi-day events, we apply scaled pricing: 1.5x for two show days, 2x for three. Longer hires may qualify for custom discounts, just ask our team.

Your quote includes the item itself, all essential accessories, product weights for transport planning, and replacement values for insurance. Everything is clearly itemised so you know exactly what’s included before collection.

All items are visually inspected, PAT tested, cleaned, and functionally checked before dispatch. We pack everything securely in flightcases, ensuring it’s in full working order and ready to use straight away.

Yes, dry hire is strictly collection-only from our Leicester warehouse. Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll prepare your kit and have it ready for pickup at the agreed time. Our team will assist with loading if needed.

Dry hire is designed for self-use, but if you need technical support or crew for setup and operation, we can quote separately for that. Just let us know during the booking process and we’ll tailor a support package to suit your event.
