Legendary microphone quality!
When gear-savvy musicians talk microphones, Shure is bound to be mentioned among the best and brightest. No mic locker is complete without a healthy dose of Shure's legendary quality and performance. Their Performance Gear series is the perfect introduction to one of the best microphone manufacturers on the planet.

Engineered for vocal performance
All Performance Gear microphones are engineered for specific applications, both on stage and in the studio. While other mics in the series are designed for instrument use, the PG58 is frequency-tailored to bring clarity and presence to vocal tracks. The frequency response from 60-15,000 Hz is wide enough to handle any voice, from the lowest bass to the highest soprano. Low-frequency rolloff with carefully boosted midrange help both background- and lead-vocals cut through the instrument mix to provide a central point of focus for your songs. If the singer is too far in front, it sounds like a karaoke performance, but if they are sitting too deep into the instrument tracks, the impact of the lyrics is lost. The PG58 lets you find the perfect balance, effectively communicating your message and keeping the audience engaged.

Cardioid pickup pattern
In a live-performance setting, the lead singer tends to move around the stage quite a bit. With all the sound coming up from the backline instruments, stage monitors, and the mains, feedback through the vocal mic can be difficult to deal with. Fortunately, the PG58 uses a cardioid pickup pattern to prevent off-axis sounds from entering the mic capsule. Your singer is free to roam wherever they like without worrying about creating a feedback loop. In the studio, this narrow pickup range is great for isolating audio to individual tracks. If the drums are bleeding into the vocals, it can be difficult to boost the singer's level without having too much of the drums in the mix. The cardioid pattern keeps the drums out, making it easy to adjust the vocals while the instrument levels remain unchanged. You'll definitely appreciate this added control as your mixes get tighter and clearer. The integrated on/off switch also prevents feedback and track-bleed when the mic is not in use.

Rugged construction
This mic is built to take heavy road abuse and still perform to perfection at every stop on the tour. The rugged metal housing and steel mesh grille protect the internal components from damage, no matter how crazy things get up on stage. An internal shockmount system limits handling noise caused by moving the microphone or adjusting the mic stand, and Shure's integrated filter reduces vocal pops and breath noise before they can ruin a recorded track. The mic capsule contains a neodymium magnet for boosted signal levels, plus a beefy coil to handle Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) up to 94 dB without distortion. You can check the PG58 off your list of things to worry about and spend your time tightening up your set.

The drop test
For further proof of the PG58's rock-solid construction, it passed Shure's famed drop test. Just like the popular SM series, Performance Gear models are dropped ten times from ten feet high with no noticeable performance problems. Bottom line, the mic is ready to deliver quality vocals whenever you're ready to make music. Indoors or outdoors -- it makes no difference. Your PG58 provides proper operation at a temperature range of -20 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit, and at a relative humidity of 0 to 95 percent. Book a gig anywhere on the planet and your mic will be there to back you up.

Accessories
The package includes a break-resistant mic clip, soft zipper storage pouch, and a 15-foot XLR to XLR or XLR to 1/4 in. TRS mic cable. You can also get multiple PG58's to outfit the whole stage.
The PG58 Vocal Microphone is a rugged mic tuned to accentuate the clarity of lead and back-up vocals.

Shure Performance Gear microphones are affordable and application-specific, ideal for everyday use and practice. They are the perfect introduction to Shure engineering excellence for performers ready to plug in and play out. Performance Gear Microphones provide a complete vocal, instrument and drum selection and feature many of the same durability and performance attributes of other Shure microphones at an attractive price. Real gear without compromise. As serious as you want to get.

Internal shock mount for reduced handling noise.

Durable metal construction.

"cheap! and same "guts" as the SM58 What more could I want"
Feature:
great it comes with everything to get started. It comes with a clip, a cord, and a guide tellg you about the mic! Oh yeah I almost forgot about the on/off switch and the pouch for the mic!

Quality:
I wouldn't try driving over this like the SM58! It works great if you plan on taking care of it and aren't ruff on equipment!

Value:
Wow you can't beat the value! don't waste your money on a Nady or Behringer or a fender or some other junk. Get a mic with the company that knows mics!

looks like a 58 but cheaper ha ha!

Sound:
just as good as the sm58. Same exact guts as the sm58 just a cheaper casing.

Ease of Use:
Plug it in and go!

Support:
Haven't needed support but I know shure is good for it!

Overall:
oh yeah would replace it in a heartbeat! you can't beat this deal. I'm a cheap and quality kind of guy. You cannot beat this deal! 60 bucks for a mic with the same classic "guts" of the SM58 (the standard for mics). Great mic!!!

"great mike for the money"
Feature:
on off switch, what else can a mike have for features?

Quality:
not an sm58 but for the money it is great

Desirability:
i got it

Sound:
you wont find a better mike for the money. If your on a tight budget this is the mike to get. Some reviewers said it was the same cartridge as the sm58 but it isnt. I own an sm58 also and the tone is alot better and smother on the 58 and also has better feedback suppresion but for the price of the pg it is probably about 75% of the quality of the sm58

Support:
never had a problem with shure mikes
