Correspondents’ Dinner mics
When money is no object, what mic does the US president or Correspondents’ Dinner use?
Why a Shure SM57 of course! Two: one for the PA system, and one for the press feed. Last edited by lkingston; 05-03-2022 at 07:27 PM.

I think I'm the only person in history to have an SM58 crap out on me. Bought it brand new and only used a few times. I kept it in my "oh crap" bag as a backup, got it out one night and nothing, it was completely dead. I sent it off to Shure and they replaced it with a brand new one for around $60. I still use Shure mics and will continue to have confidence in them. My gigging mics are Beta 58's and I still keep two SM58's as backups.

Do you have a source for that? Presidents of both parties have been using the two SM57 arrangement for years. It’s not that I don’t believe you, I just want to verify. Do you know if which mic was used for the press feed and which one was used for the live PA?

I found this (with the same pic and wording), but it was for the 2021 inauguration. That does make it seem likely that the setup has changed since then though.
https://www.marylandsound.com/blog/p...-for-the-books That makes it sound like they probably split the schoeps for both the PA and press feed, and just used the 57 as a bullet proof backup.
