SM58 Professional Dynamic Vocal Microphone with 25-Foot XLR Cable – Cardioid Mic for Live Performance, Studio Recording, Podcasting & Streaming (SM58-CN), Black & Silver

AMAZING. I know it’s expected with an industry standard, but wow I was not ready for the difference in sound when I upgraded. I’ve been using a very old shure pg58 for my hobby in recording music, and always thought I hated my own voice. Now I’m telling everyone I know that all along I’ve just hated my microphone, because I love how my voice sounds with this new one. The sound is clear and well balanced, and is especially conducive to a small apartment/lower budget setup like I have where things such as soundproofing aren’t as easily possible. This microphone truly is bringing out the best in my voice and I’m over the moon! I was a little worried about the legitimacy of this product coming from Amazon instead of the seller’s direct site, but this arrived in perfect condition.

I’m recently getting back into music and I remember back when I did it, you always wanted Shure for microphones. This thing works great and I’ve been using it for practice.

Yessuh, great mic. Cord long. Sturdy as heck. Don’t forget to have a audio interface if you want one though.

1. MFG Recommended by a Coworker; 2 Shure SM58s purchased: 1 good, 1 not so good 2. Great microphone for the money 3. Works well recording my saxophone 4. Heavier than expected 5. Should come with a microphone holder and adapter insert 6. For a little extra green, you can get the 25' XLR cable 7. Troubling experience with the last SM58 microphone (Mic head loose, no holder, insert, box was taped) Review/Opinion: Based on a coworker's opinion and my own research, I found this microphone and gave it a try for my instrument recordings. Being a third of what my coworker paid for his mic, not the SM58, is what attracted me in the beginning. I was looking at a SM57 initially until I found information stating that the SM58 could be a better device for saxophone recordings. I found a site that tested various microphones to see how the SM58 sounds. Based on that intel, affordability, and what my coworker thought about those tests, I jumped into the pool of microphone setup and purchased this mic with the XLR cable combo. I have been very happy with the recordings, both in a partial acoustic foamed environment and a fully foamed environment. Obviously, the fully foamed environment recordings are more clear and distinct. For both locations though, at an arm's length away, no clipping or distortion was experienced. The second microphone I purchased from a 3rd party: I have a similarly bad experience with an audio interface purchased through a 3rd party. i strongly suggest going through the mfr if possible. So he package was taped up, holder and insert missing, however, luckily, the XLR cable and microphone were still there! I did a mini-check on the cable and mic, which both seemed to be fine. I found later that the microphone head was loose!?! This microphone was in heavy bubble wrap when it came and the box was not damaged, but had two pieces of large white button-tape affixed. So far, this microphone has not been an issue for recording the sax and hopefully it will not be an issue in the future. Setup: The mic has an XLR port and hooks directly up to an XLR cable. In my setup, the XLR cable hooks into the audio interface, MXV2U which is power by the laptop/computer through a usb-c cable supplied by Shure's MXV2U. I am using Audacity as a DAW on a lightweight Linux OS. No issues have been experienced during my ~10 - 20 recordings. Ease of Use: Its a microphone with an XLR port. Hook it up, set it up where you need it, make sure it registers on the recording software, make some noise on a test recording, play it back and adjust the software where you want it. done. lol. As a note, I have experienced no issues with either mic, both sound great for my needs. Overall experience: This microphone MIGHT be a bit soft when it comes to speaking during sessions-- I have not experimented enough with placement yet. Research tends toward the mic being 6" to 12" away at max for normal voice recording, since I am more interested in the tonal quality of the instrument, but my voice does comes in a close second as i can learn from previous perceptions, mistakes, habits, or etc from any spoken portion or outburst, lol. Usually, the mic is about an arm's length away, which is a greater distance than recommendations. This can be corrected by either better placement or louder speech though. I suggest using the MFR, if possible, for any purchases due to experiences with one of these mics and one of the MXV2U audio interfaces have issues. The connectivity cannot be simpler, hook up the XLR cable, the sensitivity of the mic seems great, at least to my ear, it seems to pick up the instrument's sounds cleanly, it is affordable compared to other options, and I am happy overall with the purchase regardless of the oversight? of the 3rd party. Yep, five stars.

This mic delivers a warm, clear vocal sound that’s tailored for singing and speaking. a professional vocal mic setup that’s beloved on stages and in practice spaces worldwide. with rugged metal construction and a break-resistant clip. it is compact. Not ultra detailed for studio work. cardioid design reduces off-axis noise. Roughly 300 ft range and 8–9 hours battery life on standard AA cells.

I have a number of other microphones we have used in our studio, but this one is outstanding. It was not expensive and just sounds better than other microphones costing more. And, it is dynamic, so we use it for both the vocals and instruments.

What is there to say? There is a reason this is the most popular stage mic in the world. I'm not disappointed. Using this for LPFM radio and it's a super solid studio mic. We use this for DJs, talk shows and live in-studio performances.

Best and most abuse tolerant vocal microphone made!

A little background; I am a hobbyist singer. I do not do any professional singing. However, I have been singing as a hobby for 7 years now. So I am quite aware of how my voice should sound like. In addition, I spend a lot of my professional work life in meetings and calls. So a good microphone is beneficial to my work. I was originally using a yeti snowball for many years prior to purchasing the SM58. The reason why I swapped was because sometimes in voice calls background noise would pick up (even with a noise gate or sound remover). Condenser microphones in general are very sensitive to sound. I decided to purchase the SM58 because it was the most popular dynamic microphone I could find. Dynamic microphones have a more concentrated pick up pattern, meaning you have to speak directly into it for sound to be picked up. So naturally all my background noise issues in meetings were solved. The microphone itself is extremely sturdy. I can see it lasting for many years. Important to note; this is a DYNAMIC microphone. As previously mentioned, it does a great job at filtering out the background noise. But as a consequence, it also does a great job at removing vocal details. Compared to my old condenser microphones, the tones were not as clear. Especially with my higher and lower most notes. This is because dynamic microphones like this one cuts off at certain sound frequencies. But this is the pay off for having sound reduction from your environment. You will have this issue with all dynamic microphones. If vocal clarity is important for your recording projects, please obtain a condenser microphone instead. I reccomend the RODE NT1 or the NT1A if you want a brighter sound. I recently got the NT1 and the amount of warmth and depth it captures in my voice is *chefs kiss*. Don't forget to record with some sound proofing. I record in a closet. If you are singing live, that is a different story. Please stick to the dynamic microphone for live performances. That being said, you can still record songs or covers with a dynamic microphone, but for me personally, I know how I sound. I did not like how muddy this made my singing. So I no longer use it for recording vocals. I only use it in meetings/calls/live karaoke. This microphone is not a USB microphone and will require require an interface to set it up. Good news, if you ever get a new xlr microphone you can keep using the same interface. Most starters get the Scarlett, but I opted for the stienburg ur12. (Scarlett was sold out) I think the stienburg works lovely. Also because the sm58 is a dynamic microphone, the sound reduction also means it is very quiet. You will need a cloud lifter or some sort of Amp to boost your voice. The gain on the interface is not enough. TL;DR - Very solid microphone. - Good for everyday use/ Meetings/ Calls/ Live singing or performing - OK for vocal recordings (condenser microphones is better) - Needs an interface and preamp

The model is been around for so long. Always been reliable to me in quality of sound.

Excellent

The price is cheaper if you were to purchase it with the XLR cable. Therefore, It is recommended that you buy it with cable because if you just purchase the mic itself without the XLR cable package, it will be very much more expensive. Inside the box, there is a mic case, a mic head where you can screw onto the mic tripod. It came with a japanese tax invoice.
