A standard on stages throughout the world for years, the Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone offers a carefully tailored frequency rise at about 4,000 Hz for smooth as silk vocals that stand out in the mix. Long associated with its unmistakable sound and unsurpassed reliability, the Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone is widely considered the most popular mic in the world. Designed for professional vocal use in sound reinforcement and studio recording, the Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone utilizes a highly effective, built-in, spherical filter that minimizes wind and breath pop noise while the cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source and minimizes unwanted background noise. The tailored vocal response on the SM58 is a legendary tone that has become a world standard. Shure SM58 Dynamic Vocal Microphone Features: Smooth, mid-frequency presence rise for world-famous SM58 Mic sound, Uniform cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source, Minimizes background noise, Pneumatic shock-mount system cuts down handling noise, Rugged construction for extreme reliability in demanding applications, Effective, built-in spherical wind and pop filter, 50 to 15,000 Hz frequency response, Supplied with break-resistant stand adapter which rotates 180 degrees, Legendary Shure quality, ruggedness, and reliability, Includes a mic stand adapter and a zippered storage pouch, Proximity Effect: When the sound source is less than 1/4 inch from the microphone, the microphone boosts bass frequencies (by 6 to 10 dB at 100 Hz), creating a warmer and richer bass sound than when farther away. This effect, known as proximity effect, happens only in unidirectional dynamic microphones like the Shure SM58 Vocal Mic. The low-frequency roll-off on the SM58 provides greater control, allowing the user to take full advantage of proximity effect.

Perfect for live. Vocalist of 15+ years. Metal bands. Very hard to find a mic with good dynamic range that doesnt feed back like a banshee when playing loud and live. Comparing the 58 back to back with 3 others, it wins in all categories. Clarity, control, durability. It’s a 58. It wins. You can throw it at your drummer’s head and it will be fine.As for the studio, use something nicer. Or don’t. Whatever. Every vocalist should have one.
Mics are excellent. They look nice Picked them up for live vocals. Mics are excellent. They look nice, feel nice, and put out good sound. The best description for Shure SM58’s is that they are solid all-around. They aren’t mind-blowingly amazing at anything (except maybe durability?), but they are solid for just about everything. I’d say these mics are the industry standard. Can’t go wrong with these.My only advice is to make sure you get it from a reputable seller, because there are a lot of fake Shure mics floating around.
Hands down, best mic!!! I am so pleased with this purchase! Iâve been considering this microphone for years and finally decided to go for it after reading up more on it. Iâve been singing and recording and was becoming frustrated when I noticed static/distortion during playback when Iâd hit big, high notes and a just a lot of the warmth and nuances missing that I was certain I was doing. Tried this microphone for the first time last night and it picked up everything beautifully! My voice sounded just like I felt it and heard it sound while I was singing! And the mic I was using, which was a Pyle I purchased about 5 years ago, had some raving reviews comparing it to the likes of this mic. No way! Not even a little! The Shure SM58 is hands down unbelievably better!!!!! The price is great too. To me, itâs worth much more. LOVE it!!!
