Product Description

The SM48 unidirectional dynamic microphone is a great performance microphone. It maintains a true cardioid pattern throughout its frequency range, ensuring high gain before feedback and rejection of off-axis sound. The tailored frequency response is ideal for lead vocals, backup vocals, and spoken word applications. A presence rise brightens mid-range performance, and a low frequency roll-off controls proximity effect.

Features

- Cardioid pickup pattern rejects off-axis sound and provides superior gain before feedback
- Frequency response tailored for vocals, with brightened mid-range and bass roll-off to control proximity effect
- Shock-mounted cartridge for exceptional ruggedness and reduced handling noise
- Built-in "pop" filter that reduces explosive breath sounds and wind noise
- Supplied stand adapter and carrying/storage bag
- Lockable On/Off switch (Model SM48S only)
- Legendary Shure quality and ruggedness

The SM48 includes a shock-mounted cartridge, a steel mesh grille, and an integral "pop" filter. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Shure products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (6 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "SM48"
Overall: Im new to sound equipment and before I wanted to start getting into investing a lot of money i wanted a quality mic for a decent price. Look no further zZsounds has a great product lined up here and what a DEAL! the SM48 bundle they gave me included the Mic stand and a Cable... alone would have set me back close to $30s and i got that included in my bundle at no extra cost. The quality of the mic is good, i'm not going to say its the best but it works and works well. I have since then gotten my hands on the SM58 model and cant wait to play with that one too... But if you are a beginner like i was this is defiantly something i would recommend. at least for a Practice Mic its gonna get the job done.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Grab this deal! "
Overall: Recently picked up this limited time offer from Zzounds with the mic stand/cord packaged for 50 bucks. I couldn't be happier with this purchase! I bought the mic as a cheap option for my new looper pedal so I haven't seen how it performs in a live settings yet. But I can say that it far exceeds my expectations! I've owned other higher quality Shure mics, and to my novice ear I can't tell much of a difference. I think this would be an ideal choice for someone singing backup vocals in a band. There are no feedback issues at high volumes, the mic is solid tone-wise, and durable. Using it with my Jamman looper I can keep the mic hot and not pick up much background noise when I'm looping. With a stand and a decent cord included for fifty bucks, I challenge anyone to find a better deal! I give it five stars for the deal. i'd probably give it four stars if it were mic only at this price. Only draw-back is that there isn't an on/off switch.
