    Microphone for singing even if most of the instruments can be transplanted with (but you must remove the grill if the effect of proximity makes the sound too dull). Is the most cardio unidirectional clebre, we meets all the scenes (even if the beta 58A happens more and more) for 20 years. Least in the studio except for backvocals.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 1 year for some scnes and especially to record in my home studio. Ds I used the sm58 BINGO! c'tait exactly my voice coming out of the monitors. APRS is good on the need to cut a little low and climb high mdium because it is a little dark but a plug for anything just then! A micro trsrsistant Fidler and therefore quite well. …

    Good microphone, making it lived 35 years and it is always there is always heard
    True, he begins to be exceeded by the Beta 58 and Beta 87 (condenser)
    But it remains in our mind as the legendary micro ... It remains in our hands, too, is a pleasure to sing with.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Very good microphone, I use it recently for rehearsals in a small piece (15 to 20 m2)
    and must say I am impressed, the feedback loop are almost non-existent ... The sound is really good
    And while I plug in a bass amp 50 watts, the sound is very clear and pleasant ... I expect to see that he gives on stage, but for now I am impressed, just a flat for transplant instruments ... even on 500 watts, my …

    Vocal mic, instrument recovery

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for almost 5 years, this microphone is a marvel, it makes a clear, powerful, warm, compared to some other microphones of different brands, it is the best. Easy to adjust, it is suitable for all, not about to part with it

    Everything has been said.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for about two years now.

    The two strong points to raise on this model are its robustness (do not fear the shock) and protection against feedback. Indeed, playing in a metal band, the noise level is quite high and he never fails, neither live nor repeated.

    As for sound, it makes a very punchy sound which is very suitable for the metal. It does not, of course crystal clear sound for the song clear, but given the small side "bad" vote.

    The price / quality ratio is excellent (currently ~ 155 CHF / ~ € 100), this choice I would do without hesitation!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Micro that I use for several annes.Fait primarily for singing but can be used for recovery of instruments. Suprieur many competitors is the same type despite his age of conception.Ce n is not for nothing that the microphone is still the most used on the scne monde.On a good DEFINITIONS. It can even go in the studio. The quality-price ratio is excellent! It is insensitive to feedback. However the treble is not the top but that's normal because it is a CLASSIC MODEL dynamique.CE AGAIN FOR THE FUTURE!

    Unidirectional microphone for singing on scne.

    OVERALL OPINION

    At the sound, I have mixed feelings he has trouble accommodate any type of voice. It is very well to sing the hard rock with such (and therefore for singers who have chest!) As it supports the acoustic pressures and is very sensitive, but conversely, do not expect him to speak for lack of tone, sensitivity and openness. An AKG D-Emotion 880S, for example, would be more appropriate for this as more sensitive and that the sound spectrum s'tand best in bass and treble.

    Impeccable standard for micro scne. His lack of tone, sensitivity and openness allows him not to do too much and Feedback, a, for scne is The priority …

    I cleaned the bottom filter which is under the grill (it's a real vacuum cleaner filter ^ ^) and since then he has won a little treble ^ ^

    In addition, it would well in hand and is heavy-duty ^ ^

    I believe there is a version with ON / OFF switch.

    One may regret the absence of a switch on / off (even if there is another version with the switch ...). That's why I put 8.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This mic is very useful for what I did. I do the "back vocal" in my group and I use it also for my records.
    Honestly, I do not have much to complain about! Some hate it because of its micro bump in the midrange, but I love it! The sound of the voice is indescribable and heat is what makes it a micro recognizable among any other.
    After that, I'm not an expert in micro (my first) but it satisfies me.
    The price is reasonable: 100 euros is not the misery!
    Anyway, I completely trust Shure and I will not hesitate …

    The shure sm58 was one of the first mics that I have ever used, I think I got it a radio shack. That is crazy that a mic this good was sold at radio shack a long time ago.
    Sonically the response has a nice presence peak in the upper mid range, but the top end rolls off quickly after that. Opinion is split about whether that is a good or a bad thing – it helps keep a lid on feedback, but it doesnt sound as hi-fi as some other mics. I have had some singers complain that their vocal top end is not quite right - sometimes asking for more top end. I guess they are used to the sound of expensive condenser mics on their recordings. My solution is normally to give them another mic, like a Beta 58,…

My solution is normally to give them another mic, like a Beta 58, or Beta 87a maybe, rather than use EQ. If you A/B test an SM58 verses these mics it will always lose. But it can still be a better mic in some cases, such as when you are looking for a cardioid rather than hyper-cardioid response (the SM58 has a cardioid response, which means it has a wider pickup pattern at the front). But most vocalists will be more than happy with the sound the SM58 gives.


    OVERALL OPINION

    The SM58 also does a pretty good job on drums (not really bass drum), and other loud things like guitar cabs. It uses the same capsule as the SM57, one of the best mics for guitar cabs.

    I've given other microphones in the same price range, (and even some that are pricier) an honest test drive, but I just keep coming back to my SM58. Some of the competitors have a lot more definition and are more sensitive, etc. - but to a fault. I can get right up on this mic and sing as loud as I can and it doesn't get harsh like my other mics do. So, until I find something I like better (and I doubt I will), I will keep on using my SM58.

    Vocal mic, but that can be used a bit of everything

    OVERALL OPINION

    Mine must have fifteen years.

    At EQ has a "bump" in mdiums is what makes it particularity for my voice (plutt serious and loud) it's perfect, and for the feedback with a must do expr!

    Tip: when you're having fun compare to SM58 DIFFERENT management, we see that old MODELS still work but lose the treble, it makes sense, but hey, when you hear the comparison c ' is obvious ... Still, it's solid stuff-l!

    I obviously do it again this election, I am going to a nickel and then it is worth sre, otherwise why we all have one somewhere in a suitcase or bag?

    The classic. I first bought the Sennheiser E835, which has a more complte rponse curve (best in the treble), but given the difficulty for rgler on my sound system (say that n ' is not my forte) without gnrer of feedback, I brought the mic to the store for change against an SM58. More bp of feedback is a good microphone. APRS is a matter of got, but I think back vocals for use in man, it's enough!

    Solid construction: it is dj tomb lot of choice, the cache is a bit PForm but the microphone works great!

    The microphone is made of steel and is equipped with a grid "shock" steel (note braided grid deforms on impact, the mesh is resserent to protect the capsule).

    It is also equipped with a filter antipop and windproof, useful for noise-free!

    USE:

    Well, it's a microphone so do not get out of Math sup to use it! Yet one thing is to be noted is its reliability! I've had a year and a half and I made him suffer more shocks of reasons it has thus:
    A drum-sound system (two pillows to avoid feedback, mid and high back on the table a mix of low and a 1 / 10 ... you get the dry sound of a trigger)
    Caught-water (and beer)
    He dropped from considerable heights (equivalent to 2m) or was thrown to the ground!
    It still works like day one and I never let go! The sound is always the same.

    SOUND:

    It is exceptional! A warm! I sing in a group of Hardcore Metal / Death and the style is the top! The treble bass and midrange are transcribed perfectly!
    Its only major flaw, its strong tendency to LARSEN! Anyway the sound is so nice that abstraction is faster ...

    I would put 9 Feedback for small (history not to surnoter)

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?

    I use it for a year and a half since this time nothing wrong!!

    - What is so special that you like most and least?

    I appreciate above all its high reliability, and robust side, indeed it has often been misused in concert, style and ambience want that and never let go of me!
    However we regret that feedback too easily rather annoying at times in small rooms!

    - Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    I had a ROLAND DR10 aquérir before (I always elsewhere) and has far fewer potatoes, ditto for the Sennheiser few I've tried, they often fail to combine Quality Bass / Treble ...
    I made the acquisition there is little time for a wireless microphone SHURE PGX BETA 58, who has a little more potato in the acute and the problem of feedback in less!

    - How would you rate the quality / price?

    The value for money is excellent, I paid 110 and a microphone of this quality I think the price is really more than reasonable!

    - With experience, you do again this choice? ...

    Without hesitation and sometimes twice a day: it is the micro to have whatever other mics used!
