All user reviews of 4/5 for the Shure SM58

The Shure SM58 was one of my first microphones that I used to record with at home. I have pretty much used all of the Shure Line mics. The thing that’s best about this one is its good for a little bit of everything. No matter what frequencies your voice is, it works. You don’t even have to have a windscreen. I remember recording with this mic, with no stand or windscreen. With a little bit of Eqing, it sounding amazing for just recording in my living room on my Toshiba laptop at the time. I have came a long way from those days. But I would still use the SM58 in a heartbeat. I recommend this mic to anyone starting out. Its really cheap and sounds great.


OVERALL OPINION

The mic is very precise with the sound, you may have to cut out some of the lower end frequencies with it, depending on how close you are to the mic and how deep your voice is. That was the only issue that I had when using this mic. I didn’t try any models prior to this one, I think I might have use a cheap radio shack mic 1 time but when I got this that thing went in the trash! I am very happy that I found this mic many years ago. Shure really put out a quality product with this and best of all anyone can afford it. It is even being sold in most of your main stores now, you no longer have to go to a guitar center or sam ash to find it. I wont be surprised if wal mart doesn’t carry it, (if they don’t already?). A high quality mic for a great price… I stand by it! Don’t waste your money on all those mics that cost twice as much as this one, this one will work just as good and save you money at the same time!

RAS - read the specs.

OVERALL OPINION

Well it's the microphone to repeat, sometimes even for live and for some stamps in particular. In the studio we will not go away ... it remains a little fuzzy and has a color medium, medium low, I personally do not like. It is built for the powerful voices and assured, but more importantly, especially for the growls and howls other metal. It was not afraid to hurt her, it dribbles in, it does not melt in your hand, it plays on its inclination to add color and it sounds perfect. Not worth the SM7B, but is much more manageable, you can roll over with while shooting. In short, if you like screaming into a microphone is that you need, including in the studio.

Dynamic omni-directional I think.

Frankly, a good microphone, super tough, REFERENCE ...
But the sound of certain voices is spcial and the grain is not the most Capt. honntes.

I find that the condition of references, it's like for NS10M.
Not always justified ...

OVERALL OPINION

6 years that I have. Concert / homestudio / etc ...

Twisted Grille several times (I also know the scope of the indoor screwdriver to straighten!) And always VLOC.

I modremment the grain when it is coupled to a single console, and there is not a good prampli to warm the sound. Problem disappeared since I have a wonderful and VLZ mackie1402 pramplis ...

The SM58 is essentially a microphone for singing scne.
It's a dynamic mic cardiodide.
To my knowledge, references.
I have not had the opportunity to compare the top range of microphones. But a lot below 150 euros. And it comes out first every time, whether on rponse frequency drives, rendering progressiv dynamics and dynamic depending on shooting distance.
Especially it is to be rput road. "See below.
I have used for the sound of instuments home. That is correct. No more.

OVERALL OPINION

I got mine for 5 years and it runs on scne with me for 4 1 / 2 years. Never any trouble with. Yet it took shovels (high Paske I am tall and my pole is always high). I have several times rectified the grid (with a screwdriver handle the indoor, if so!)
It still works impeccable.
In short, pay nine 800 F, no complaints at all!

Think clean or change from time to time Bonette foam is in the grid: it picks up a pack of crap when you turn a lot!
Tip: Soft tissue on the tip end of a vacuum cleaner and suck the foam out of the grid (the fabric prevents the suction of the mouth) The microphone is regaining clarity.

Shure SM58

OVERALL OPINION

I use an SM58 on scne for 6 years.
Advantages:
great price quality ratio
good sound
pretty good attnuation of plosives
rjection of good feedback
good prsence

Cons:
does not return voice with perfect transparency
ct the "big sound" that is blowing in one of Shure's pubs, which is a little dtriment transparency and DEFINITIONS of ... fineness
for me the most regrattable parat: the effect of proximity as we approach the microphone, the bass becomes excessive and the sound loses a lot in the shade.

Overall impression: sre value, trs good micro (Obviously, do not compare a Neumann KMS 150, but the price is not the same!)

The SM58 is a dynamic vocal microphone cardioid directivity, the prdestin scne ...

One can find two versions of the microphone:
- Switched (rpt prconis in 'order to drink beers cushy ...)
- Without switch (better live to avoid errors in manipulation 'of singers)

OVERALL OPINION

This mic is a true legends in the Domaine sound particulirement live. It is a little dated, but it has not aged a bit ... We see it in many concerts and even sometimes stud '(MANU CHAO example but it is not the only one).

I'm going to throw stones but I think this microphone is not a lightning war in sound: the equalization will be carried out efficiently to get out a nice voice ... At the sound, I prfre a home SENNHEISER E855 is warmer ... BETA58 or, more natural. It even comes out when a finest signal that the majority of its competitors in the same price range!

on the other hand, from this same 855, what ease of use: Feedback, handling noise, ... are not absent but almost! Beginners on singers, who use a lot of plutt what this little trick in front of their mouth, I only give them the SM58, E835 plutt that will be uncompromising ...

In use, I prfre BETA58 is the best (although a trs is not "fashion" to say ...).

Chant, recovery tools, Snare ...
Dynamic
Frequency 15Hz to 15kHz

OVERALL OPINION

Hello,
Yes if it is actually not a Neuman ... it's still a microphone that I think owes its reputation to its universality. It is true that behind a console (good or average) it always happens at the level to get what you want. Now it is clear that micro "song" may not be suitable for all voices. It is not because a SM58 microphone as such a reputation that is necessarily done to everyone. I have been using a lot of years and I'm pretty happy, report it always makes me good service. In any case, the microphone that we must have in its fleet.

* Micro.
* Singing
* Cardioid.

OVERALL OPINION

Two opinions here:
* For our singer, who has a small voice, this microphone is not exactly synonymous with performance, in fact, it very difficult restransmet feminine voice and the power of his deminue considerably safe. This leaves only the treble and the sudden appearance gives a loud voice ... So really Bad.

* So, I used to do the voices back to me and surprise, it seemed to be another microphone. The report was very good and gives my voice has a more Rock!

In short, I think this microphone is best suited to persons with a chest larger, especially for the singers of rock or metal!

Heart of any musician who bought his first real microphone!

OVERALL OPINION

I used 12 years, or rather should I say, I have long been used to the idea of ​​trying something else.

Without making any detours, if you want a microphone for voice, do not take an SM58; It was a reference for a long time, but you have to evolve and at the same price, you become a Sennheiser E845 with its clear, precise with potato and with the advantages of being super cardioid (picks up a little less feedback because it captures very little sound from the sides). In addition, if you improvise a singer, it will help a little because it "smooth" a little tone of voice (he makes a little less "fat" - I do not know if I'm making myself clear here ... ). Finally, it gives you good acute (normal, the E845 up to 18kHz 16kHz against the SM58 memory).

I put 7 as the SM58 and respect because he is still not so bad, but frankly, we must stop buying that micro becaufe saw the same studio in the first repeated the corner.

Primary use: song.

A microphone to become more Poad Cast date or sound!

Unidirectional cardioid.

OVERALL OPINION

- 3 years, suitable for deep voices, strong, little or no feedback,
scne microphone first.
- Assets: micro robust.
- Cons: loss of EHJV by-pass. Especially not good in the studio, though is corrected, with a Behringer dj seen that much cheaper copy!
- Yes, I am the happy owner of an AKG D330BT (irreplaceable), a Sennheiser E835 for voices "fminines".
- Bof price quality ratio, its level and reputable, there are better.
- No, you guessed it, the last in relgu sono, trsdu for the Shure.
