Shure's most famous microphone!
For more than 40 years, Shure's SM58 has been the "go-to" microphone for musicians, producers, and sound-engineers around the world. No other mic in your arsenal can match its legendary reputation for great sound and rugged dependability. With an SM58 on the stage, you can forget about the microphone and concentrate on your performance.

Engineered for great-sounding vocals
The SM58 features specially tuned midrange response for boosted presence in your vocal tracks. While some mics cause vocals to get lost in the mix, the SM58 cuts through the instrumental tracks and positions the singer right out in front. Your music will gain the crisp focus that separates the professionals from the hobbyists.

Special technology for quiet operation
Shure's unique spherical filter brings smoothness and clarity to both lead- and backing-vocals. Wind and breath sounds are minimized, cutting down on ambient noise that can ruin recorded tracks and possibly damage live sound equipment. A tried-and-true internal shockmount also cleans up your performance by reducing handling noise. Those loud creaks and pops that result from pulling the mic out of its clip or adjusting its position can be completely avoided. Plus, floor vibrations won't enter the signal stream when the SM58 is mounted on a stand. Clean tracks always sit better in the mix, giving them their own space and texture. You'll be surprised at what pops out of your performance once the unwanted noise is gone.

Unidirectional pickup
Live sound stages and recording studios both rely on good microphone isolation for quality results. If one audio source bleeds over into another, it's hard to know what to fix and how to fix it. Fortunately, Shure SM58s have a unidirectional, cardioid pickup pattern for outstanding aiming control. Since sounds outside the pickup pattern are automatically rejected, you can position the mic to only "hear" your intended audio source. In the studio, you'll have clean, separated tracks for faster editing. On stage, you can be sure your input levels are strong without worrying about feedback. Either way, your project just got a whole lot easier. Shure includes a 180-degree rotating mic clip to help you get perfect mic placement, every time.

Legendary durability
The SM58's tank-like durability has reached mythic status in the music world. Veteran rockers love to tell the tale of how they hammered the stage together with their SM58, then sang through the whole gig without missing a beat. You'll be a part of the legend when you grasp the perfectly balanced die-cast metal handle and raise the rigid steel mesh grille up to your lips. It's hard not to feel the weight of all that music history when you realize your favorite artists hefted that same handle, delivering their lyrics through that same mesh grille.

The drop test
Nostalgic sentiment is nice, but how about some cold, hard evidence? The SM58 met and conquered Shure's famous "drop test," falling ten times from a height of ten feet with no drop in performance! We all know what happens at the live show. The energy is high, people are jumping around, and your mic stand is bound to get bumped. It's nice to know you can pick it up, dust it off, and get right back into the moment. Nothing will kill the vibe faster than telling the crowd to hang on a minute while you swap out equipment. With an SM58, you never have to stop!

Affordable quality
Shure knows their audience, and they priced the SM58 accordingly. At this musician-friendly price, you can outfit the whole stage without breaking your tour- or studio-budget. Use the savings to try and find other gear that performs as well as the SM58, if you can.

Consistently the first choice of performers around the globe, the SM58 vocal microphone is a genuine world standard and a true audio legend. The Shure SM58 is a unidirectional (cardioid) dynamic vocal microphone designed for professional vocal use in sound reinforcement and studio recording.

A highly effective, built-in, spherical filter minimizes wind and breath "pop" noise. A cardioid pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise. The SM58 has a tailored vocal response for a sound that is a world standard. Rugged construction, a proven shock mount system, and a steel mesh grille ensure that even with rough handling, the SM58 will perform consistently. Outdoors or indoors, singing or speech -- the SM58 is the overwhelming choice of professionals worldwide.

About Shure
S.N. Shure began his company's relationship with the products of personal sound by launching a one-man operation in 1925 that sold radio parts kits. Since then, Shure microphones and audio electronics have been the tools of choice for politicians, musicians, corporations, churches, and broadcasters across the world. Anyone who considers sound to be an important part of his or her self-expression has probably used one of Shure's microphones, phonograph needles, or other professional audio products.

"Not too good on recording, but EXCELLENT for performers"
Feature:
None. But none needed.

Quality:
Build quality and qual control on Shure products are one of the best. Made in the good ole USA. Shure isn't BSing you when it says that this mic is consistently the top choice of performers around the world.

Value:
Worth the money.

Desirability:
Sex appeal of a mic? It's conventional looking.

Sound:
OK, this isn't necessarily designed for recording, but the SM58 is an industry standard when it comes to performance applications. No mic I know of out there beats the SM58 in overall performance and reliability in performance applications.

Support:
I have dealt with their CS and it is prompt and informative.

Style of Music: All kinds

Shure SM58 Mic Customer Review
Feature:
Just one pattern but when that's what you need it does the trick.

Quality:
Are you kidding? I bought mine in 1966 (hey, maybe I've got a collectable). Looks all beat up and it still works.

Value:
Let me see....I think it was about the same price back in '66 as it is now. That would come to about 0.7 cents a day. Pretty good deal, eh?.

Desirability:
It lasts

Sound:
A workhorse vocal stage mike. Gets an 8 for the studio, get a condenser mike if you want crystal purity.

Support:
Can't say, never needed it

Style of Music: Rock, Blues
14 of 15 people (93.33%) found this review helpful. Did you?
