    This is the best deal of a mic

    Shure SM58Published on 10/22/17 at 18:07
    I bought this mic after seeing the review on https://studiogearexperts.com 7 months regrets later, i have no complain about the mic.

    what i live most most is its performance in live performances, less noise and powerful. thanks to the Cardioid Pickup Pattern

    I also use it in my studio and it meets my demands.

    if you are a vocal performer get this one!

    What type of microphone? (Voice, sound, mixed ..)
    cardioid dynamic microphone

    What technology? (Electret, condenser ...)

    Technology Electret condenser as used for the studio

    How long have you use it?
    I use an AKG D5 since its commercial release. I have an SM 58 but now surpassed performances.
    What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    I've tried DIFFERENT microphones Sennheiser 800 series and Beta 58. The AKG D5 resists better to feedback, it is more nuanced sound palette at the SM 58. For the rock / hard / metal played in a small local prfrez D5, a Beta 58 is no use even if there are equivalents level characteristics D5 is more robust at the …

For the rock / hard / metal played in a small local prfrez D5, a Beta 58 is no use even if there are equivalents level characteristics D5 is more robust at the gate and resists better to the clashes as saying that you can not exploit the qualities of Beta 58 under these conditions.

    Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
    To guide your choice heed the acoustics of the place where you rptez, the style of music, the volume of the room and the quality of prampli you use your microphone. The prampli Xenyx Berhinger or yamaha mg are of good quality and are sufficient for an amateur group

    How do you report qualitprix?
    The best qualitprix report for D5 GRADE rock / pop / hard / metal and is 2 times less cherque the Beta 58, even a bit cheaper than an old SM58
    With experience, you do again this choice? ...dropoff Window

    There must be a reason if the micro SHURE SM58 continues to make after more than 40 years of career, and what a history!

    I have never seen a microphone SHURE SM58 manufactured in China.
    In my humble opinion, they are copies, as for the Sennheiser brand.
    PRICE: less than 80 HT in Germany for the original, so why deprive yourself or buy copies!

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    I use the SM58 since the 80s
    I love the mdium has sung, and gives her a magical color
    I tried and bought before prcdents SHURE as 585!
    The price quality ratio is excellent for a solid micro, reliable, and its very hot
    Eyes closed, I would not change for any other brand for the stage and concerts.
    Notwithstanding the fact that many studios have rputs SM58 parks and BETA 58.

    Notice of Non singer: Good micro

    - Cardioid Dynamic Microphone type (Unidirectional) SHURE SM58
    - Bandwidth = 50-15 000Hz
    - Impedance = 150 Ohms
    That's the technique, it's copied.
    Micro song for concert more than priori studio.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used for singing (not me) or transplanting non self amplified instruments.
    I did not so I jam with my friends musicos group, as everyone is not always equipped or do not walk up with his gear, I have my little need me (small sound system, microphone etc.) In short this microphone does its job, troubleshoots very often a second voice (Usually the singers have their micro, often a SM58 matter!)

    That I am not an expert, so I can not say more.

    A classic

    Shure SM58Published on 11/26/14 at 06:10
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    It is a versatile microphone that meets the requirements of the singers on stage mostly, I remember having used a couple as overhead for a battery, it's the job, in short, it helps out well.

    OVERALL OPINION

    it's been more than 10 years as I have, it never lets go, robust and everything.
    I have other models, but it always comes back to this one after a while, so much qu'AKG microphones similar way above.
    The value for money is correct.

    Dynamic microphone for singing "all terrain" (as much at ease in live and studio).
    Preference beta 58 for better quality but the little brother is still a reference.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Historically, they have virtually indestructible capsules, fell several times on stage, despite the windscreen which is poly distorted sound remains the same !!!
    it can also be used on a snare drum or guitar amp ...
    This is the kind of micro sound engineer has everything whatever happens in his backline ...

    Very good vocal microphone, but also versatile instruments, brass, etc.
    I put a note 8, for its versatility: it is the micro to do everything, never disappointing, excellent value, and it is indestructible.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It must be thirty years since I use exclusively, before I turn to other recent pickups:
    - Beta 58A: flattering to the singer, bass fishing, insensitive to feedback, but a bump in the midbass, and finally, despite appearances, less faithful than the SM58.
    - SM57: I tried it with a pleasant surprise: an incredible fishing, foundry raw attack, but it remains true. In summary, this is THE micro "old school", that must be mastered (plosives beware!), But that …

    - AKG C535: while there, big surprise: virtually flat in équas an incredible fidelity all passes (including defects), but what a treat for the singer who can pass all its nuances.
    So what to conclude?
    To each his own microphone, you have to try. And given a microphone will sound differently depending on the room. So it's not a luxury to have several in his briefcase ...
    As for the SM58, well ... if you have a microphone, so take that one: no surprises fear

    Very good equipment, reliable, very good record, good frequency range, good noise isolation, only "flat" no on / off. Otherwise I recommend nikel micro versatile.
