| hi guys!
i have bought two sm57 here in italy.
i have seen many articles on the web about spotting fake chinese copies.
i am confused on mines... they have some details of the original and some of the fakes.
- green and yellow wiring (both on the capsule and on the xlr connector, the original should have blue and red on the connector)
- weight is 240 grams (original rated 284)
- three holes in the bottom
- on xlr connector i have marks for pin1,2,3 and shure, and also the silver line
- resistance between pins 2 and 3 is 600 ohms (i've heard it must be 400)
- the package contains all but the user guide and the sticker look very poor quality. the bag is the bigger one and has a "made in china" label inside.
what do you think about them? |
