All user reviews of 1/5 for the Shure PG58

Micro Dynamic fawn low-end Shure.

Assymtrique output transformer, so avoid a 48 volt power supply ...

Trs expensive for what it is.

This microphone is a rating that dung over 50 euros.
Dj SM58 I find quite average, with the wrong qualitprix, but then the cake is the one!

OVERALL OPINION

In addition to a sound dplorable of feedback fast enough, having to push the gain donf chopper to full blast and noise of any kind, this microphone is asymtrique output!
Straw!, A hrsie!, Unusable Live, studio, rptds you use it on a console o there is a microphone with phantom power dessus.A branch unless have a phantom power supply for each, but if you have a table of this ilk, gnralement, you are not using PG58 ...

Frankly, for 25 euros you have a Behringer XM8500 is incomparably more musical, and which can be used in Live default of anything else.
And for 15 or 25 euros more than the Behringer, you have a T Bone MB85 Beta or Superlux TOP248, two good microphones that I find better than a SM58 and all remaining 2 cheaper than PG.

In short, it's not because it is Shure, on the contrary, many sitting on their renamed, they have no qualms offering microphones drums exorbitant prices ...
I'm not Anti-Shure SM58 I possde one (Alas, I do not like), but also two and a SM57 Beta87A is my best vocal microphone scne!
But this mic is the foutage of mouth! I put one because there is the sound that comes out when same.

My advice:
FLEE THIS MICRO like the plague! IT'S A HORRIBLE DAUBE CHER! CATCH A NIGOT!

A word.

Cardioid dynamic vocal microphone wire. <p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>steel construction very sturdy, silent switch, thin thickness of a pop filter inside of the ball, pneumatic isolation of the capsule. It takes a microphone signal purely asymmetric.</span>

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years. J'apprcie its sturdy cot, unfortunately, I finally trsdu this microphone. I pass on what t said in the opinion prcdant. The seller advised me as equivalent to the SM58 and cheaper. I think it was right on one point ... The report is qualitprix assurment little INTERESTED. I do not at all would do this choice, I'd at least for a SM58 or other micro-level more leve.

The Shure PG58 is Shure's entry level dynamic vocal microphone. It has a cardioid pickup pattern. This should leave the uneducated reader assuming that this is just a slightly lesser version of the venerable SM58. It is not. Do not be fooled. If you have no patience for why's, I will relay the what for you who do not wish to read the details (because you are considering this microphone, I assume you are a beginner; if you just cannot afford more expensive microphones right now, then read on for more details and suggestions.):

The Shure PG58 has no reason to exist. It has no place in the world or microphones. On one side, the vaunted Shure SM58, the world standard, which all live vocal microphones are measured against. On the other...another SM microphone. The SM48, which is actually cheaper than the PG58, sounds worlds superior. Add that to the respectable vocal microphones coming in around $60 and you realize that Shure cannot market this as a budget microphone because its sitting in the price range of some very respectable microphones.

The PG58 has a frequency response from 60-15,000 Hz, and has a rather dull response. It furthermore, has an on/off switch, which, while appreciated by many, adds a liability to the performance. And looks a bit silly, but that's my experience.

OVERALL OPINION

When I state the PG58 has no place in the world, I mean it. I would excuse it if it could actually be called a budget microphone. While it technically is, its quality screams $10 mic so loudly that Shure's insistence of charging $60 for them is absurd.

Consider the fact that a Behringer XM8500 (an underground alternative to the Shure SM58) can be found for as little as $20 is you look hard enough.

Vocals mic... Wired version and it's a pity because there is also an HF version...

OVERALL OPINION

Avoid it, no matter what you do!!! I never liked Shure products (awful highs - except for the SM58, which is the only valuable Shure product) and this mic reinforced my opinion. Other manufacturers offer much more interesting products in this price range. I won't say what I think about this product because I don't want to speak ill of it. As a home studio owner and PA technician I must strongly advise you against this product... Try out products of other manufacturers, also lesser-known brands, even though shop assistants always recommend Shure...
