The World's Most Popular Live Vocal Mic!
If this is your first Shure SM58 dynamic microphone, then
congratulations! You're about to discover why it's the most popular
vocal microphone on the face of the planet! In fact, virtually every
serious studio and live sound rig have several SM58s. Why? Because the
Shure SM58 gives you three of the most important things a microphone can
deliver: quality, consistency, and durability. In your hand or on a
stand, in your studio or onstage, gig after gig, show after show,
session after session, the Shure SM58 dynamic microphone will never let
you down.
Shure SM58 Handheld Dynamic Microphone at a Glance:
- Quality sound for any source
- Consistent performance you can count on
- Extreme durability for a lifetime of abuse
Quality sound for any source
One of the most outstanding things about the Shure SM58 is that you
can stick one in front of any kind of vocalist (and most instruments,
for that matter) and get excellent results. It's a fact - even though
it's best known today for its near indestructibility, no one would have
cared about the SM58 in the first place if it didn't sound amazing. The
secret to the SM58's sound is its critically tuned frequency response,
which cuts out low-end rumble and adds a noticeable rise in the
upper-mid frequencies. This deliberate presence peak adds warmth and
clarity to your vocals, but it also lets you get the most out of a wide
range of sources, including guitar cabinets, brass, and many other
instruments.
Consistent performance you can count on
Here's something you probably didn't know about the Shure SM58. These
handheld microphones are built to very tight standards. What that means
is that an SM58 is going to sound like an SM58, so you can mix and
match and add more SM58s to your collection, and you're always going to
get the sound you expect. What's more, they all have the same focused
cardioid polar pattern. That's great onstage, where you have to worry
about bleed from the mains causing feedback. It's also a bonus in the
studio, because it lets you get solid isolation between your vocals and
instruments.
Extreme durability for a lifetime of abuse
We can't mention the trusty SM58 without talking about its legendary
toughness. Drop it from a skyscraper, run over it with a box truck,
freeze it, drown it, bury it in soft peat for three months - it's all
been done to the SM58, repeatedly, and there are YouTube videos to prove
it. And the best part is that not only will this heroic mic continue to
function after serious abuse, it will sound exactly the same as it did
before. Now, do you think a little thing like the normal wear and tear
of stage life is any match for your SM58? No way! Buy a Shure SM58, and
you've got a killer mic you can put in your will.
