The SM57 MICROPHONE is available for dry hire from Production LX, a UK technical production specialist supplying audio systems for live music, corporate presentations, theatre and festival stages. Every item we dispatch is prepared and checked by our technical team, so it arrives on site ready to work from the moment it's rigged. Hiring the SM57 MICROPHONE through our portal gives you professional-grade equipment without the capital outlay, storage burden or maintenance commitment of ownership — you specify exactly what your production needs, and we prepare, test and dispatch it ready to work.

This page sets out the SM57 MICROPHONE's stock code (487), weekly hire rate and full technical specification so you can specify with confidence. Build your equipment list in the flightcase, add the SM57 MICROPHONE alongside any other items, and submit one hire request — we'll confirm availability and return a single consolidated quote covering every line on your list.

Production LX publishes transparent weekly rental prices across the entire dry hire catalogue. All prices exclude VAT and delivery/collection unless specified, and availability is confirmed on request — the figures you see here are honest guide rates, not teaser prices. If you're hiring for longer periods, or dry-hiring without crew, talk to us about the discounts available.

• Transparent pricing — the published weekly hire rate is £12.00 per week, exclusive of VAT and delivery/collection. No hidden extras, no surprise line items on your invoice.

Sound hire for your production

Our sound hire clients span live music PA systems, corporate presentations and conferences, theatre sound reinforcement, festival stages, and installed or semi-permanent venue audio. From one-day corporate events to multi-week tours, the SM57 MICROPHONE earns its place on the equipment list by doing its job reliably, show after show.

Touring productions and longer engagements benefit most from dry hire: the same equipment, maintained and tested between every hire, without owning a single case of it. Our weekly rates are designed so that short bookings stay affordable while longer hires work out progressively cheaper.

The SM57 MICROPHONE works hardest as part of a wider system. Browse the full Sound range in our catalogue, add everything your production needs to your flightcase, and submit one hire request — a consolidated list lets our team check compatibility, plan transport as a single load and quote the whole job accurately.

Technical overview

The SM57 MICROPHONE is specified in full in the technical table above. Key headline figures include weight: 0.0. Full manufacturer documentation is available to download where listed, and our technical team is happy to talk through how the SM57 MICROPHONE fits your intended application before you commit.

Specifications matter most when equipment has to work together on site. When you submit a hire request, tell us what the SM57 MICROPHONE will be working with — control systems, power sources, rigging, neighbouring equipment — and our team will flag any gaps or accessories you'll need to complete the system.

What to expect when you hire

Hiring the professional way: build your equipment list in the flightcase, submit one hire request with your event dates and delivery details, and our team confirms availability and returns a consolidated quote. Nothing is charged and nothing is booked until you approve that quote — the request is exactly that, a request.

Once confirmed, your hire is prepared, tested and packed for dispatch. Nationwide delivery and collection are available, and all prices exclude delivery/collection unless stated — transport is quoted with your hire so you see the full picture up front.

If anything needs attention during your hire, you're supported by real production people throughout. Report an issue and we'll work with you to resolve it — replacement equipment, technical advice or an adjusted collection, depending on what the situation calls for.
