    Reliable, serious, a little expensive

    Mixed microphone, it is used for voice, whether for speech or singing. It is a dynamic cardioid unidirectional microphone.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used it for 5 years before changing microphone because I had other uses, but I keep it in emergency microphone.

    I tried several microphones models rocked before opting for this model in 2002.


    What I like most:
    - Simple, without adjustment, it works instantly
    - It captures the voice with ever acceptable quality even in noisy environments,
    - As it is a one way, one can avoid feedback when talking to speakers if care is taken not to proceed to speakers.

    What I like least:
    - There is no On / Off,

    What I like most:
    - Simple, without adjustment, it works instantly
    - It captures the voice with ever acceptable quality even in noisy environments,
    - As it is a one way, one can avoid feedback when talking to speakers if care is taken not to proceed to speakers.

    What I like least:
    - There is no On / Off,
    - It is useless without strong pre-amplification, because it lacks fishing
    - The protection grid is too fragile, it sinks too easily at the slightest shock during transport. The microphone is still usable, but visually it has a fart with headphones,
    - The sound is clean, but it is not bright,


    Its value for money is bad today, because he remained at the same price but today was much better for less.
    Given its quality, it should have come under € 50: € 100 sell is ridiculous seen improved microphones cheap for 15 years.
    Dynamic microphones stereo € 29 sold in supermarkets are better and more fishing if unbalanced with which they are sold by a balanced XLR cable (which costs 10 € max) cable is replaced.
    Audio microphones "professional" unmarked cost up to four times cheaper for the same performance (such as T-Bone MB-85 sold at 25 €).

    In 2002, it was a safe choice, but now I would not buy more.

    microphone singing

    OVERALL OPINION

    My group has a stock SM 58
    it works, it larsenne too, it looks sturdy enough, but the sound is relatively flat and banal
    In the same price range, the competition is far better (AKG D5 that I also have is infinitely better)
    The price is not cheap considering the age of the product, which is still sold with a reputation a bit overrated

    In summary: value for money not very favorable, a highly "average" in the bad sense

    It is a dynamic mic, not much to say.
    No switch, nothing.
    Frankly limited bandwidth.
    Insensitive.
    I put 3 points because it is strong.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have owned various dynamic microphones because at the time I was young and stupid and I trusted the press. See my old gear on my profile.
    When I realized he was listening to his own ears and in general other are not very demanding and quite packed I stopped buying anything.

    I had the Sennheiser BF-812 (better but not great), a micro brand LEM fairly low but not much worse than the SM58, and I had a lot of static hands: I TODAY 'Today that good microphones (AKG C3000, Rode NT3, M-Audio Sputnik and ...

    A dynamic ... cheaper than the SM58 and much higher: the AKD D5.

    In fact I quickly sold my SM58 and SM57 I would buy one, archi versatile, can be used for voice but also on guitar, drums ...
    So I go to my favorite retailer in Pigalle (Paris), or JVV Audio Partners, a small shop apart from others Avenue Trudaine, but good prices and above all the good advice.
    The seller asks me if I know the illico AKG D5: I do not know. He said, "I listen to both, the SM58 is 25% more expensive, you try them both and see you. All my clients who have tried both left with the D5."
    Having confidence and being pressed I took the D5.

    Later I compared it to a friend SM58 singer on a powered speaker: DAY AND NIGHT. The SM58 is dull, no definition is sorely lacking in presence, and is more sensitive to feedback.
    In short, for me there is a deaf man who will not make the difference, and for € 90 instead of € 117 should be a bit more idiot.

    The AKG D5 to record in the studio without too Souffir sound "live" immediately mark it on SM58 because the sound of the SM58 is so poor and lacks treble.

    That's it. I hope I was clear. There is that conformity can explain that turns to a SM58 aujourd'jui. Would be really naive and not very curious to think that there has been no better since that time. And it is expensive precisely because it is known, is all.
    We find this kind of bad products overpriced in other areas, of course: Rickenbacker guitars, the Yamaha NS-10 speakers that everyone recognized and therefore everybody wants ...

    LISTEN and do not turn to the best-known products, they are almost never the best and are often expensive.

    Micro Dynamics

    Versatile enough for a hand vote.

    Technology Exceeds from competition

    I use it for 10 years

    I tried many other models from other manufacturers

    What I like most: The micro reassures the client of its reputable

    What I like least in the song: A spectrum evil rponse refund the curve, its proximity effect too pronounced. Feedback Resistors to its low, its lack of precision, its lack of clarity of the low return of the high mid and treble its price ...

    The report quality price is not terrible, it continues to sell expensive because of its reputable dating of the 60's when it's low end.


    I do Achteras probably by far the most prfrant Sennheiser E840, E835 and AKG D5.

    It is a condenser microphone with tape Intgr 2x100W amp. not bad, right?
    but not see other reviews for this micro CHARACTERISTICS classic.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Like many, I always used the SM58 repeating and scnes (small) without asking me too many questions.
    reading the other reviews here Submitted, I bought a t-bone MB85 to compare, because I had a hard sound to correct the singer of my group.

    APRS 2 / 3 permutations, the shure seemed so closed that repeats it ended with the t-bone and that it will remain in place for our configuration.
    may be we can take the good with the shure if we have the-ing sound and the gear that goes well, but it is not our case, and it is not for …

    if the SM58 DGIG a lot of quality, it is not adapted at all, and not resume notament a shrill voice clear and Submitted fawn over a mix.

    to use a different view: take time to choose the microphone that is your purpose, without jump on this "standard" that displays a report qualitprix questionable.

    I recognize that the SM 58 is its apparent strength. This mic seems to be able to survive several scenes agitated ... Otherwise it's all for my voice type (female voice rather clear), it is completely inappropriate.
