Crimson Audio Yellow SM57/SM58 Modification Options
Front End Audio has made it easy to build the modification handle of your choice. However if you have any question please reach out to us and we will be happy to assit you in deciding what options best fit your needs.
- Select Your Cartridge: Add either an SM57 or SM58 cartridge (with our without grill) to your handle. Many times we find customers will have a extra SM57 or SM58 laying around their studio that they dont mind using for this modification. If this your situation, then there is no need to add a cartidge. Howerver, if you dont want to canabilize one of your existing microphones then this is your solution.
- Add a Granelli Audio Labs Handle: The Granelli Handle option is a 90 degree elbow that works seamlessly with the Crimson modification. It gives your mic a 90 degree angle to help improve your mic-placement options on drums, guitar amps and bass cabinets. This is a super cool addition which adds versatility to your microphone.
- Modification: This unique modification is not only affordable, but easy to do yourself. It only takes a couple minutes with some very basic soldering skills. However, if you want to skip the extra work or don't have the tools, then we are happy to do the modification for you. When Front End Audio does the modification we will QC all parts, assemble the microphone, QC the finished microphone, secure it in its own zippered mic bag*, and get it on the way to you typically within 1-2 business days - so you are ready to go right out of the box!
*Zipper mic bag is included for free only when Front End Audio does the modification.

no opinion yet on the sound, but...
Jun 3rd 2016I haven't had an opportunity to try this bad boy out yet, but I like how you guys roll. Packaging was well done, promptly shipped with a little hand written note, too! I'll return once I've had some ears on this Yellow thang.

Best thing in 15 years!!!
Feb 5th 2016Never have I ever had such an overnight improvement and electricity come to the studio as I had once I received my 57 with the yellow mod and paired it with the "Mogaine." Absolutely speechless. Under $300 and I had an unstoppable chain. Actually used the combo on vocals for a session--and the 57 was chosen over high-end $2000+ mics. Get this, then get the Mogaine...and get ready to start REALLY making it happen in the studio. Stupendous on guitar amps. Quite simply...perfect.

Added Punch
Jan 11th 2016This mod was very easy to do and well worth the money. I'm not much of a solderer and you really don't have to be. I use the SM57 on my snare drum which I've always liked. This mod has added more punch to my recordings with a nice even tone, not blaring but what you hope to get from your snare.

Shure / Crimson SM-57
Jan 1st 2016Nicely done. There is a good improvement on this iconic microphone. Hoping to be able to afford one or two ADK Z-Mod mics in the future!!
