Published on 04/12/12 at 15:37The Shure 565 SD is a can be purchased for around 140 dollars. it’s a very good mic for your vocals, especially the ranging lead vocals. it’s a very versatile mic and is similar to a few other models that shure makes. Which is what I don’t understand, after comparing this to the Shure SM58 I really cant tell a difference between the two mics. Just that this one is silver and the SM58 s black. Everything else seemed to be exactly the same while testing them out and using them. They say that this mic has a better built in pop filter for your vocals but when using it its just like the other shure models similar to this one.
OVERALL OPINION
The Frequency response is 50 to 15,000 hz which is pretty standard. And as stated before it’s a chrome plated mic. Which looks really nice but I don’t want a nice looking mic if it cost more than my other mics and doesn’t sound any different. You must just be paying for the chrome plate with the Shure 564 SD because my SM58 sounds jus the same. Everything with this mic and with the other mics seem so much alike from how the record , feel, weight. Its almost like they just dipped in it chrome and changed the name.
Overall, it’s a good mic no doubt about it. But go with the Shure SM 58 and save some money! They are exactly the same to me and the SM58 cost a lot less. Plus the silver chrome plating isn’t that appealing to me anyways. I would rather have gold plated if anything. But none the less it’s a good mic, if you really want to pay 140 for a mic that you can get a lot cheaper in black, would you? I don’t understand what shure was trying to do.
