Value For Money : Excellent
The Shure SM-58 has a capacitor in his head, it is a dynamic. It does not need phantom power (48 volts) but if it is sent by mistake via the table, and it supports not Crame.

It is rather a micro reserved vocals (male or female), but like all microphones can record almost anything, depending on what is expected.

Live, his reputation is really more to do, it's the B, A, BA singer (or singer {when I say, it should not be viewed as a male, but as a neutral name, you never know with gender theory ...]) worthy of the name and, considering the price (less than 100 €), it would be silly to deny it, plus it's still strong.
Also, what sound engineer would not know? So no problem to quickly set it right.

In the studio, why not? It is very cozy ... but in general we will use the other great mythical (I did not say mystical!), The Neumann U-87 (Ai or not).

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Since its inception with its big brother the Beta 58 which is less scooped.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Hou's a good package, but it is the most versatile I think.

- What thing do you like most and least?
This is a go anywhere, it is solid and tough in time, if he falls to the ground, the grid absorbs shock, therefore, disassemble it and wake it from its tidy shape.
Sound side, it pretty neutral despite a little lag in the low mids that makes it rather soft and care should be taken to the next pops adjusting the EQ and / or compressor.
Listed gain, it is a little behind some more modern but good mics ...

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Excellent, I do not think that we have done better since.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yeah, more than once! The last one I took is a wireless (damn the loose cables), but hey, the price is not the same as ...
