The Shure SM58SE dynamic cardioid polar pattern vocal microphone with its vocally optimised frequency response and warm, clear sound is truly THE standard among live vocal microphones. The SM58 is a dynamic microphone for lead and back-up vocals at live performances, professional audio amplification and studio recording. A built-in, highly effective filter eliminates breathing and wind noise, whereas the cardioid polar pattern isolates the signal source and reduces unwanted background noise and feedback frequencies. The rugged construction, proven shock-absorbing system and sturdy steel basket ensure that the SM58 always works reliably, even in the harshest on-stage conditions. Whether outdoors or indoors, for vocals or speech, the Shure SM58SE has been the undisputed number one choice of professionals around the world for decades.
World-renowned for its distinctive upper-midrange presence peak that ensures an intelligible, lively sound. Perfectly fits the hand, balanced for total comfort during long gigs. Frequency response is a smooth, vocal-tailored 50Hz-15kHz, and the price is a bargain considering its life expectancy.
This microphone is absolutely superb. The vocals sound crystal clear, it has great responsiveness, and it feels super sturdy and reliable. Difficult to beat its price/performance ratio. No wonder it has been considered an industry standard for so many years.
This microphone - perhaps the most classic choice vocalists in the world. This is no accident. Incredibly accurate transmission of voice tones and shades - thats what I want to say about this microphone.
Advantages:
1. price
2. Universality (can work as a voice and a guitar)
3. Reliability (2 years of intense live performance, there was not a single failure)
4. Very true voice
disadvantages:
1. Maybe its just my opinion, but I think that he has a pretty low sensitivity (I work with no pre-amp), probably pre-amp will solve this problem
industry standard, best there is, priced right with music store with great, prompt service to the door. I went for the deal with mic stand and lead. All top notch, i would without hesitation recommend this product and music store to anyone.
Classic vocal mic - just sounds right. I think it's worth the extra few quid to have the switched version, so you can turn on/off at your control without reference to the PA/mixer. Getting the bundle with the cable and boom stand is good value.
