Shure SM57 Microphone
First introduced: 1967
While it's certainly impressive that the lion's share of the world's most popular musicians rely on your product both onstage and in the studio, Shure has even more to brag about: Since introducing its low-cost but high-performance microphone in 1967, the SM57 has adorned the lectern of every U.S. president from Lyndon Johnson onward. So, in a literal sense, if it weren't for this black beauty, many of the most important phrases uttered in modern history would never have been heard.
