All user reviews of 4/5 for the Shure SM58

I love the ide of the microphone to sing or speak dedant!
it is also dynamic and cardio

OVERALL OPINION

as a given that more or less everyone up and / or made his ears with this microphone, it is difficult to fall Arrows ...
in any case is a real superhro microphones because it is the one over the de40ans and blow the most of all maltreatment. between the falls, the cold and the spitting hot singer dedant etc..
So it's definitely an extremely reliable and robust microphone that sound and keep it no matter what
and this is the most important when making the running or that it is used every day, or just as often as we really need.
Please note however, and to speak only of her, it's unfortunately very far from being an exellent vocal microphone ... the competitor offers a sennheiser E835 my opinion much better (and just as solid)
trs is insensitive, deaf, low prcis, it became a style today, but it is partly because of him that the singers mouth sticks litralement the capsule of the microphone! Finally, even if it the advantage of being "warm" or else she would be left more than its strength
So here's to me the two main arguments of this legendary microphone if:
It's "hot"
- The bullet proof

As everyone knows, "Micro Cardioid Dynamics"

OVERALL OPINION

I use it only in RPET, home, and Down scne. I ais for 9 months!

Get a good swing of two floors ... It will only work better! Right microphone with clear sound, and some feedback indsirables when the volume goes up a bit much for a mixer ... On scne, it is not worth the trouble to be used ... Better to take it for RPET and at home. But even when it passes.

The sound is clear without vritable power, I can not find his trs super level, often more acute than normal. Easy rgl.

Holding hands a lot, lack of weight. And I would spend all the other reviews ...

My first one micro DM, trs was not very effective, see totally no ... Having told me the silent a SM58 vritable bte for its price, I took ais. Today, I leave the cot ... It is worthless, feeble and without vritable importance to the same price but with a much longer research I came across a microphone at a quality 3x suprieur SM58. A Sennheiser E840 s But I advise all the same to those of prvoit rpter often and record from an amp. It shows a good sound. It is versatile trs.

Report / Qualit xlent it is a micro surment well worth the the trouble! When were press is to buy one ... Do not hesitate to seek and try. The SM58 with those 40 years of references starts to be a little old.

I do not do it again surment, but I do not mean deprecated.

It is a cardioid dynamic vocal microphone, which may possibly be diverted for any type of sound recording from the time when one is aware of these limitations!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years now both live in again.
is more than correct a microphone for live, one must get up early to do it hang! (Or use too many effects and voices get in front of the facades or returns)

I tried the equivalent of at Sheneiser, the E835, which is much more neutral, but equally correct, after the eq is rendered without leaving your appreciation!

For the price of this mic, and it held the status of live (large drop ..) I think this microphone is doing relatively well!

I do it again if that choice is mine to give up the ghost!

Polar Pattern
Unidirectional (cardioid), rotationally symmetrical about microphone axis, uniform with frequency

Sensitivity (at 1,000 Hz Open Circuit Voltage)
-54.5 dBV/Pa (1.85 mV)
1 Pa = 94 dB SPL

Impedance
Rated impedance is 150 ohms (300 ohms actual) for connection to microphone inputs rated low impedance

Polarity
Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3

OVERALL OPINION

The 58 is sort of like the 57 with a different front as most people have argued. They both seem to have the same type of sound, that is with enhanced presence and upper midrange and not much low end. These are good for vocals and increases the presence through the mix for most people. I've used the 58 like a 57 for experiments and have found that it doesn't quite suit the job as a 57 would and is definitely geared more for straight forward vocals.

Compared to the 57 there are slight differences, the 57 actually seems to have a bit more low end overall while the 58 is a bit cleaner and clearer in general. The 58 has become the worldwide industry standard microphone that you'll see on every stage from small to stadium-sized. It's a decent sounding mic and relatively well priced. There have been many variations made of this microphone with slight EQ tweaks and what not but in my opinion for a dynamic vocal mic it really doesn't take much in terms of a mic to get some good sounds if you start with the SM58.

For live use, I'd say these are the SM58 vocal mics and SM57 mics are the ones to be looking at, for recording purposes they are decent but if you can spend a bit on decent condenser mics you may be better off. I've personally stopped recording with dynamic mics for most situations (minus drums) but for live it's almost absolutely necessary as most stages aren't totally capable of handling condenser mics in a good manner.

This mic is the "live vocal" microphone. Go to any bar/venue and check out what people are singing through and chances are it will be a sm58. That being said, it can be applied to many other instruments. Its essentially the same mic as the sm57 but with a pop filter. This is so that you can get up close and yell intro the microphone without creating to many painful pop noises. It also means that this mic can be used on almost any source and sound pretty good. Some engineers claim that you can mic anything with a sm57 so the same is true with a sm58. It has a slightly lower presence peak in the 8-11 kh range due to the pop filter but that is hardly noticeable to the common ear.

OVERALL OPINION

I really like this mic. It's prefect for live sound on most instruments, especially vocals because of the pop filter. I generally don't use it on most studio recordings. I have access to a bunch of sm57s so I generally use those instead but you could definitely use this on guitar, drums, percussion, or anything really. It's really nice on loud sound sources. It's a bit of a darker mic but I think that adds some interesting character to certain instruments (guitar, snare drum, etc). For the price ($100) you can't really beat this mic (except with maybe an sm57). I would definitely buy another if I lost mine. It's great for live vocals but it will sound good on most things.

Well, we all know about the ol Shure SM58! This has probably been everyone’s first mic. This mic is better for live performance than it is for studio recording. Because when recording in the studio with this mic there seemed to be more air than normal transferred in to the mic, even with a screen in front of it. But when I heard the live performance on it, it sounded crystal clear! I remember getting this mic when I was young, and thinking it was the best investment I have ever made. it’s a very good mic but once you put some real money out you will be able to tell the difference.


OVERALL OPINION

I like the price of the mic the best, it’s a decent mic around 100 dollars and it offers good quality for it. But if you can save up a little more there are mics that go from 200 to 400 that are way better. But in the 100 dollar price range there is nothing better than the ol stable handy Shure SM 58 . The Shure SM 58 is a standard great starter mic for any body wanting to record vocals.

The thing I like the most about the Shure SM58 is the quality for the price, you wont find a mic in this price range that has this quality. Shure makes quality products that they stand by and give you great support. I wouldn’t have chose any other first mic for 100 dollars. This one allowed me to create great music and still learn without spending a small fortune on a “high quality” mic. The sound quality is great and very natural in a live setting. I didn’t have a chance to try any other Shure Mics, but I guarantee they are just as great as the Shure SM58!

THE dynamic mic best known for singing, or even troubleshooting for lots of other instruments.

OVERALL OPINION

I count the years ...
I tried sennheisers, Shure (SM81), beyerdynamic (m69tg).

It makes undeniable services, it is happening everywhere, very strong.
Although defects (medium bump, its not very fine) it seems inevitable in a park microphone.

Level value for money, I think it will. It is true that for 100 € you can try other, perhaps better, but still he would like the road by its feedback resistance and durability. The sound is debatable, but it goes very well for a rock song.

It is perhaps with the Shure SM 57 The best known of all dynamic microphones: no concert or TV show without anyone sees one in the hands of a singer because the animal is a strength foolproof and it is remarkably resistant to feedback ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a few years but as my business is essentially the home studio, I use it rarely, preferring to make my record with a static tube.

We can not fundamentally regret having bought a reference, especially since it was my first microcomputer, but if it over again, even having a dynamic, I would probably have been more willing see the side of the Beyer M88 or're crazy side of the RE20, which would be more useful to me today ...
