- I use it mainly for vocals and harmonica.
- Dynamic capsule.
OVERALL OPINION
After three years of repeating a shure sm 58, I just tested the Shure Beta 58 A, the same sound as usual, then another sound, June 21
The result is very good (the beta).
It is, without hesitation, much better than the SM 58. More accurate, better defined in the treble (with brightness as I read everywhere and it is true), we feel the bass boost when one sticks to the microphone (this is progressive? With these very serious desire to hot). Sound as hot as the sm 58 or more.
The Beta 58A is very pleasant "to sing", it is very flexible. A treat.
It is true that recently I use a small tube preamp behringer. it heats up pretty sound. Comparing the two microphones. on the same sound system, with the same preamp, it appears that the Beta 58 A is much better than 58 sm.
I can do a comparison with the Beyerdynamic Opus 89, I tried on the same sound.
The latter is also very accurate, as far as the BETA 58A, but it has a hollow in the medium, rather unpleasant, hollow that is not Beta 58. Although the response curves of the sheets appear to be similar for the two microphones, it is not the case in the trial. BEYERDYNAMIC égalment is the coldest in response. It is also more expensive.
The quality / price ratio, that I do not know. It seems that Tbone is very good too, for much cheaper (I did not try, I do not know if you can really compare, but it's clear that the T bone is not expensive, I did not want to try it).
Very happy with my purchase.
