Shure Microphones

Shure microphone, known for making pro-quality mics that seem to work just fine after being subjected to the rigors of stage and studio, have turned their attention to bedroom musicians, podcasters and others who record direct-to-computer with a new line of high-quality USB wholesale microphones that will work with any computer made in the past decade. (Everything after Windows 98 First Edition has the requisite USB Audio profile.)
Shure microphones say these mics have zero latency. A helpful monitor mix control lets you hear what’s being recorded in real time as it sounds in the rest of the mix, in order to make mic placement, mixing level, EQ, and other adjustments. Meanwhile, an integrated preamp controls the volume of the signal in your monitor headphones.
Shure’s new line of USB microphones contains two models. The Shure PG27 USB "features a flat, neutral frequency response for natural reproduction of a wide variety of instrument and vocal sound sources." If you’re looking for a USB replacement for the trusty, versatile Shure SM57, this sounds like it. Choose this one if you want to use it to record anything and have it sound decent.
The other model in the line, the Shure PG24 USB, "was specifically engineered to reproduce the subtle nuances of lead vocals" with a larger diaphragm (for increased sensitivity), a low-cut filter for cutting out hums and other noise, and an external shock-mount.
