Shure is one of my favorite equipment brands, and probably one of the best out there!
The Shure SM58, a legendary mic and standard industry use, is designed for professional vocal use in live performance, sound reinforcement, and studio recording.
Here are some reasons to love the SM58:
I highly recommend the SM58 for anyone searching for a great live microphone, not only because it is high quality and durable, but because it's extremely affordable - at around $99. You can't have too many SM58's in your kit!
Here are some reasons to love the SM58:
- The SM58 is effective even outside, because the built-in spherical filter minimizes wind and breath, taking away the "pop" noise. While a unidirectional (cardioid) pickup pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing the amount of unwanted background noise.
- Most vocalists use the SM58 for live performance, not only because of the sound but because of how tough and rugged the microphone is. The steel mesh grille ensures that even with rough handling and clumsy roadies, the SM58 will continue to perform consistently in all environments.
- Tailored frequency response specifically shaped for vocals, with brightened midrange and bass roll off to control proximity effect.
