List of user reviews Shure Beta 58A

Shure Beta 58A By songboy on 11/17/2009 I'd like to make music my profession

Characteristics

This is a Dynamic style Vocal mic.  It can be used to mic instruments too, but it is definitely a Vocal mic.  You can use this in just about every environment.  It works great on stage to help me cut through the rest of the band and be heard when I am singing.

Overall Opinion

What I like most about it is its very feedback resistant.  You can put the levels up pretty high and be heard over loud music without any ear popping squelch.  The only thing I don't like about any shure mic I own is the lousy bag they send it in.  Its not actually a bad bag on its own, but it doesn't offer any real protection.  I have owned much cheaper samson mics and others that came with a nice protective case.  Besides that, the Mic itself is a gem. 
I paid $150 for it.  Thats a decent amount of money but its worth it when you want intelligible lyrics. 
Very good quality of sound.  No problem using in the studio.
I had used a lot of sm 58's as well as a few audix mics of similar quality.  The reason I went with Shure instead of Audix was Shure's awesome return policy.  Even when way past warranty, you just send in your mic in most any condition with about a third of the money its costs brand new, and they will send you a brand spanking new one. 
Very cool.
Yes I would definitely buy this mic again.  In fact, the next band I play in that has two vocalists, I will recommend they buy one too.

Characteristics

The Shure Beta 58 A is a dynamic microphone great for use in both a live setting or in the studio. I have used it in both settings, but mostly in the recording studio. This microphone is similar to the SM58, but has a difference design and definitely sounds better. These work great for live vocals, but are suited for a number of different applications.

Overall Opinion

I've been using the Shure Beta 58 A and have found it to be a great microphone. Even though the Shure SM58s are a great deal, the Beta 58 A has a cleaner sound quality and is probably worth the extra money. However, if you need to get a few microphones to use at once, I would recommend getting a few SM58s as they are a great deal. It is probably a good idea to use this microphone for a lead vocalist if you can only get one, and probably isn't necessary to get these microphones for all of your vocalists. Shure makes some of the best American made microphones out there and are always reliable and well made. If you treat the Beta 58 A well, it will last a long time and can take a fair amount of wear and tear because of its great build. The price is reasonable for a great live microphone, but if you are looking for a single recording microphone, I would recommend getting a condenser, as there are a lot of good options when it comes to recording microphones in this price range. All in all, the Shure Beta 58 A is best suited for the live setting and is really one of the best microphones of its kind on the market - especially considering the price. The Shure Beta 52 A must be in discussions when considering buying a microphone of this kind.
